Sorry about that. It should be "shopt -s histappend"
But even if it can append commands, would bash do that *immediately*? It seems that bash can save the history only when it exits.
By immediately, do you mean writing to the history file after every command? I don't think it does that. That would exclude the option of ignoring duplicates, wouldn't it?
