Every terminal shell writes to .*sh_history independently, and if two are active at once, the file may not show all the commands of both. You might set up the .bashrc so every login gets a fresh history file named with date-time, tty and pid. And even then, anything they put is a script is not recorded, nor if they move over to ksh/csh/tcsh/sh shell, or cat -u|bash to simulate a script. Finally, these files roll over at $HISTSIZE.
First, you want to not use the shell or history file they are using, so you do not mix your history.
You can truss/tusc their bash pid and see all to much detail, if you have it or something similar. These commands give you all kernel calls, even if the app is already running and you do not have the source.
There may be network or terminal ways to watch their interactions.

SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION
produces output similar to the output of the HP-UX command for all machines on the local network that are running the daemon (see who(1)
and rwhod(1M)). If has not received a report from a machine for 11 minutes, assumes the machine is down and does not report users last
known to be logged into that machine.

amount of time the user has been idle. Idle time is shown as:
If a user has not typed to the system for a minute or more, reports this as idle time. If a user has not typed to the system for an hour
or more, the user is omitted from output unless the flag is given.
