Getting other users command history in new terminal

Linux Basics Course
#1

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open a new terminal in a lab.
  2. Press “up” key.
  3. Commands I have not used in any lab appear:

For example sudo apt install nfs-common. These commands likely appear in later lessons, but I know we haven’t hit nfs yet as I haven’t started the storage module yet.

Hi @peter.mattingly
What you are most likely seeing is commands used by the automation that provisions the lab. Since they’re run in the shell they get stored to the shell’s history.
