I have frequently noticed GNU Screen with multiple Bash shells, each shell/tab,
the history is routinely forgotten/lost.
A possible solution is to increase Bash history command and file size:
Here I increased from 150 to 15,000(lines/MB)
export HISTSIZE=15000
export HISTFILESIZE=15000
Sort of ridiculous, and I think the cause is more related to not safely exiting
each shell/tab prior to halt.
Maybe the proper method to halt a system is to send a signal to GNU Screen, and
place it within a halt.sh script?
