Re: root_hist

Hi,

this has now been implemented in CVS. One can configure the number of history lines to be kept in .rootrc, by setting

Rint.HistSize:         500
Rint.HistSave:         400

The first value defines the maximum of lines kept; once it's reached all but the last HistSave lines will be removed. One can set HistSize to 0 to disable history line management.

As this might not help you with batch jobs we also implemented an env var approach. You can set ROOT_HIST=500:400 - the first value corresponds to HistSize, the (optional) second one to HistSave. You should be able to set ROOT_HIST=0 to disable the history for your batch jobs.

Cheers, Axel.
