I am running 12.04 server and when I type history in bash I see most of the commands I have entered into bash but I don't see the commands I have entered when in a tmux session.

How do I see the history of the commands I have run inside a tmux session on Ubuntu 12.04 server after I have ended the session?

You have to preserve bash history in multiple bash shells. To do this, be sure that you have the following lines in your ~/.bashrc file:

# avoid duplicates..

export HISTCONTROL=ignoredups:erasedups



# append history entries..

shopt -s histappend



# After each command, save and reload history

export PROMPT_COMMAND="history -a; history -c; history -r; $PROMPT_COMMAND"
