[K12OSN] Most Bash scripting questions? :)

If you are looking for the file without the cd /home lines, you could do:
cat .bash_history |grep -v "cd /home" >>/root/logfile.log

The -v flag to grep will exclude the word passed to grep, so you will 
end up with a file without and cd /home lines in it.
