Examining the Debian Linux logfiles, I found out that not all commands are logged in my pacct (/var/log/account/pacct)
For instance, if I run and stop Wireshark and do after that
# lastcomm | grep "wireshark"
The wireshark command is logged as expected.
But if i do the same with for instance Gedit, then i got nothing.
What could be the reason for that?
I looked already for quite a long time on the internet for answers but couldn't find them. And all the tutorials talk about the logging of ALL executed commands, not about any exceptions. So, I am a bit confused.
Till now, all the applications i tested where graphical applications of Gnome those are not logged, like:
gedit, gthumb and evolution. So just a thought: Could the reason perhaps lie in the fact that those applications are part of some bigger 'application' that is still running?
Who knows if when working in the single user mode that any command are logged or could b elogged specially if I do a fsck I like at least to see when I did start it. (1 Reply)
