DSL 4.4.4 version. Is there a way to get bash to record command history in the .bash_history log for the root user? Maybe I'm just looking in the wrong place for the history log?

yes. The history file contains only the text "exit".

Yea, you'd get that if you, for example, opened a terminal and just send "exit"

OK, you did such a great job on the emelfm question maybe you can help explain how to get the bash history file to work.

Actually what I am trying to do is simply print the terminal screen to a file such that all commands and responses for an active session are captured in a file. There's probably a simple way to do this, I just don't know how.
