Some commands not logged in pacct
Hi, 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. Code:
# lastcomm | grep "wireshark" wireshark X user pts/4 0.68 secs Sun Jul 1 18:55 # But if i do the same with for instance Gedit, then i got nothing. Code:
# lastcomm | grep "gedit" # 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? Last edited by suvios; 07-03-2012 at 10:36 AM.. |

This may seem like a silly question, but are you executing the commands under a different user? The commands that you run on root won't be remembered by the regular user.
You may also want to look at .bash_history and see if for some reason it has hit a maximum file size. |
