dear all ,

I m new to shell programming and I need your help.

Actually i want to keep track of all the commands executed in a bash prompt of users ,
very much in same manner as it is displayed when we run "history" command.

now the users are smart enough as they delete their history by "history -c".

I have read about auditing in linux but logs are very confusing and not very much in detailed for what was the argument that was passed with the command .

Can anyone give me an idea of how to get the complete command history or how could i disable "history -c" so that i can keep track of the records of the users.

my motive is to get the command exactly in same manner as it was executed

E.g: -- Someone typed "rm -rf Impfile.txt"

Then i need exactly the same syntax ----> "rm -rf Impfile.txt" to keep the track record .

I have searched several forums all say that it is not possible to stop users from deleting their history .
I have googled a lot for this but didn't find any satisfactory answer.

I know there must be some solution to this that is why I am posting in this forum as many linux experts are on this forum.

Thanx in Advance
