As this forces a reboot immediately (and closes all terminals), the shell has no chance to terminate 'normally' (i.e., by exit/ctrl-d/logout/etc) - therefore history is not saved. Check if the command history is saved if you do "shutdown -r now" and hit ctrl-d immediately. I'd assume it does. -- Kamigishi Rei KREI-RIPE
