[ILUG] duplicate lines in a file

[ILUG] duplicate lines in a file

I've just added this to my bash profile ....

export HISTIGNORE="&:ls:ls *:[bf]g:exit"
from http://www.caliban.org/bash/

Now I want to remove all the duplicates from the history file 
is there a command that will take in standard input,remove
duplicate lines and output to standard out ? 

I've been doing this but it sucks ...

cat ~/.bash_history  | egrep -v "shorewall|ls|rm\./|chmod"

I'm sure theres something in the toolbox for this ....
