Thanks for your quick reply, in fact i followed the below commands but it is giving effect only with #history command but it didn't modify the .bash_history file. Any comments?
Question for all sysadmins.
How do you keep track of what commands each user uses on his account. I thought an easy way is to monitor .bash_history, however those files can be "edited" by the user.

I am using the bash shell.
When I view my recent command history using the "history" command from the prompt, it only shows me the commands starting at #928.
The commands I need are earlier than that, but I can't figure out how to make the other 927 display.
They are in my .bash_history... (1 Reply)

ranlib
RANLIB(1) General Commands Manual RANLIB(1)NAME
ranlib - table-of-contents for archive libraries
SYNOPSIS
ranlib [-t] file ...
DESCRIPTION
Ranlib creates a table of external references for archive libraries, normally used by the loader, ld(1). This table is is named
``__.SYMDEF'' and is prepended to the archive. Files in the archive which are not executable and symbols which are uninteresting to the
loader are ignored.
The options are as follows:
-t Set the modification time of the __.SYMDEF file. This time is compared by the loader with the modification time of the archive to
verify that the table is up-to-date with respect to the archive. If the modification time has been changed without any change to
the archive (for example, by a cp(1)), the -t option can be used to ``touch'' the modification time so that it appears that the ta-
ble is up-to-date.
FILES
/tmp default temporary file directory
ranlib.XXXXXX temporary file names
