Hi all.
Was just thinking today about if it was ever considered to write the VTY
history out to a file on exiting (and load it on startup)
I'm quite the fan of the up arrow and it's been something that sometimes
annoys that I have no history after leaving the VTY.
It would seem reasonably trivial to implement, and I suppose you could
write out to files in $HOME/.osmo-bsc_history or $HOME/.config or somesuch.
Just wondering if this was ever discussed before, if there's any
unforseen problem with it on my part + if it would be a desirable
feature for anybody else?

I like the idea. I have also missed this feature at times.
It should probably be opt-in because creating ever-growing files
by default is a bit unfriendly to embedded platforms. Also, some
commands accept crypto secrets in parameters, and people will not
expect those to be saved by default under $HOME where any program
could easily read them.
I don't see any other potential issues.
