So there seem to be no history entries available when I run history
from a bash script. Why is this?
I also tried to use the ~/.bash_history file, but it doesn't seem like
events are added to it for each command executed, since at least a
couple of ten commands are missing at the end. Seems like things are
added to the .bash_history file ”now and then”, I'm not sure how
often. How can I get around this? Where are the latest history lines
recorded before they are added to the actual .bash_history file?
I'm trying to make a bash script that creates an alias for my last
command and save it in my .bash-aliases file (which is launched from
the .bashrc file), so I need some way to know what my latest command
was.
Kind regards

Yes, but it doesn't seem like I can use it in a script, can I? At
least I failed.

About that .bash_history file:
At the moment, my history is 620 entries. If I look in the
.bash_history file, the last command there match entry 527 of the
history command's output. Where are the 93 missing entries? Can I
force bash to write those to the .bash_history file?
Kind regards

Yes, set history -a in your .bashrc

Failed.
All that did was to add entries to the .bash_history file when the
history -a command was run. After that, no more entries are added, at
least not for every time they are executed.
I also tried to run history -a from my shell script, but history seems
to be blocked in a bash script.

Sorry, my mistake. Try adding to .bashrc:
shopt -s histappend
PROMPT_COMMAND='history -a'
First command appends history instead of overwriting, second should write
history after each command. Untested, I don't use it > All that did was to add

Correct, history can only be run from interactive shells. On non-interactive
shell, such as your script, history doesn't return anything.

I wonder why. Can't see an obvious reason for that.
