Now, may be OFF TOPIC, but don't know where to ask this.

I use 'HISTCONTROL=ignoreboth' and used 'HISTCONTROL=ignoredups' before.
ignoreboth implies ignoredups, but I am looking for a manner to avoid 
getting a command more than once in my history file (.bash_history),

-- EXTRACT from Bash Reference Manual ---
Set to a value of `ignoredups', it means don't enter lines which match 
the last entered line.
---------------------------------------

history-file. I set my HISTSIZE and HISTFILESIZE to 5000 and may be I

To explain my problem I send an
