Back up globalping test history.

[moonteach]

I tried writing a script or adding a scheduled task to back up the test history of globalping, but it always fails.
The scheduled task command is as follows:
globalping history > /globalping/$(date +"%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S").log
However, every time I check the file, it shows "No history items found."

The history is session-scoped, not global. If you wish to store every measurement that you run, a good option might be adding an exit handler to dump it at the end of every session, e.g., something like this:

if [[ $- == *i* ]]; then
    _backup_globalping_history() {
        local log_dir="$HOME/globalping-history"
        local timestamp

        mkdir -p "$log_dir"
        timestamp=$(date +'%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S')
        command globalping history > "$log_dir/$timestamp.log"
    }

    trap _backup_globalping_history EXIT
fi

or alternatively alias the command to store the results automatically.
