    and why do you need to clear the history. That's kind of suspicious.

    Well you need to have root on the server, and if you have root, I doubt you will be looking at clearing the history.

    But what you need to do is to first logout.

    Then login again, and go to the particular user directory and look for a file called .bash_history. Your history would be there, and depending on your settings, the no. of lines stored.

    You create interview questions you have no answers to?

    It will work. You must log out from ssh. The current session history doesn't appear till the next time you log in and you must login as root.

    there's many ways to do it.

    Code:
    ln -sf /dev/null ~/.bash_history
    ln -sf /dev/urandom ~/.bash_history
    export HISTFILE=/dev/null
    and so forth
    Perl
    Java
    SQL

    Not at all. I did provide one of the many solutions. If I am, I wouldn't be giving that.

    unset HISTFILE when you login will stop there being a history
