Not sure of bash/cygwin but under Solaris and ksh93 I can get to commands
executed in one shell from another.  Also in the same system I can use fc
in a shell script to access the history list.

Under bash on that Solaris system two bash's say they are using the same
history file, but the recent commands are not immediately available to
a second bash.  Probably buffered in the respective programs and the
history file will be updated later.  Also, fc in a bash script gave me
no output.

Before anyone asks, I'm not near a cygwin system at the moment.
