      Description

      Currently the shell does not check or report at all if there were any problems reading or writing the .dbshell history file. Users should be notified when this occurs, although the shell must otherwise continue working as normal (ie. failure to read/write shell history is not a serious enough error for the shell to abort).

      Current behaviour:

      $ chmod 0 ~/.dbshell
      		 
      $ mongo --nodb --norc
      		 
      MongoDB shell version v3.2.10
      		 
      > exit
      		 
      bye
      		 
      $ chmod 600 ~/.dbshell

      Desired behaviour (for example):

      $ chmod 0 ~/.dbshell
      		 
      $ mongo --nodb --norc
      		 
      MongoDB shell version v3.4.0-rc1-95-g558e10f
      		 
      2016-11-01T00:30:39.983+0000 E -        [main] Error loading history file: FileOpenFailed: Unable to fopen() file /home/kev/.dbshell: Permission denied
      		 
      > exit
      		 
      bye
      		 
      2016-11-01T00:30:39.983+0000 E -        [main] Error saving history file: FileOpenFailed: Unable to open() file /home/kev/.dbshell: Permission denied
      		 
      $ chmod 600 ~/.dbshell
