Thanks. I did try this before, and the history successfully 
restored just after the command. However, once the .bashrc (and 
.bash_profile) ended, bash still restore from the history file 
adding to the history already there, doubling everything and 
potentially removing the history loaded before (when it passes 
HISTSIZE limit).

> history "$hfile2"

This gives error: numeric argument required

Any other idea? Thanks!
