Append shell commands to history immediately

 When working with multiple terminals you can always face ssh timeout which will result in loss of command history of the particular session.

To prevent this, Add below line in "/etc/bash.bashrc" file

export PROMPT_COMMAND='history -a'

After logoff login, every time a shell command runs it will be immediately stored in history file.

That should do the trick!!!
