As I can see I wrote my post unclearly ;)
I meant that in standard configuration (without any changes) everything
typed in console is written to those 3 files (debug , syslog, messages)
And I would like syslog not to log history in those 3 files.
So I made filter to route it to history.log
It works fine (it writes history to history.log) but still it writes it to
those 3 files (debug , syslog, messages)  as well ...
so now everything I type is written to 4 files (debug , syslog, messages and
history.log) and I'd like it to be written only to 1 file.

I hope it's clear now ;)
regards


My STANDARD configuration (with my modifiication to route history to
history.log) looks like this:
