command line history

[hekot]

Hi everyone, I maintained a mysql server (v3.23.49) using telnet and I use the same account with someone.
The mysql> prompt keeps all commands I typed and the people using the same account can use the UP key to see the command history.
However I wanna disable the function and clear all history.
Does anyone know how to do that?

Thanks in advanced

Peter

I don't know how to tell the mysql app to stop recording commands.

I do know that the commands themselves are stored in the file .mysql_history in the home directory of the user.

You can delete that file without mysql's failing.
