Hi,
Does anyone know how to save and restore the directory stack in bash?
I would like to be able to access and manipulate past directories
between logins.

Thanks.

Which stack?
Well, you can create a file and routines for this purpose, or:

If your request is for command line, possibly you can do this:

grep search /etc/inputrc
"\e[A": history-search-backward
"\e[B": history-search-forward

Add the above lines to correspondent file.

set|grep HIS
HISTCONTROL=ignorespace:erasedups
HISTFILE=/root/.bash_history
HISTFILESIZE=500
HISTSIZE=500

Add "erasedups" to your HISTCONTROL.


Then, at prompt, you write cd and press key "up" and only
commands started by "cd" are showed, then select the
desired one.

This solution works in command line only.

I don't know if that's possible, but you can set the CDPATH variable,
or you can search for previous "cd" commands in the shell history.
I like to use mc. In mc you can have a bookmark list, like in a web browser.

Better to do it externally: http://www.xs4all.nl/~waterlan/

Hi,
The bash docs uses the term 'directory stack':
