History to Another file [local user history , but root access]
Hi all,
My need is :
1. To know who , when , which command used.
2. Local user should not delete this information.
[The thing is , here we have a number of employees working in root permission.!!! And we are not actually getting who is doing which command and all...]
I mean , with an example , i can say
i have a user user1
i need to give all the following permissions to user1, :
a. A specific directory other than his home directory.
b. To edit /etc/profile
c. And/Or any other specific files/dirs.
user1's history will be saved in ~/.bash_history
user1 will have -rw-------. permission to ~/.bash_history
So there is a chance that he may delete the file itself / delete the content.
And so , i am thinking to do like..
i will have another file somewhere , say , /var/.bash_hist_user1
so automatically , What are all the commands entering by user1 should come inside /var/.bash_hist_user1 also.
OR ELSE
What are all the commands entering by user1 will come in ~/.bash_history
But he cannot delete the file / content.
Is it possible ?

Hi,
I need to access a user's command history. However, the dilemma is that he is logged in and so his current history is not yet flushed to .bash_history file which gets flushed when he logs out. Is there a way I can still access his most recent history?
thank you,
