HP-UX history settings

Hi all


My first post here. I've been told certain things regarding HP-UX's .sh_history file which I'm not so sure I agree with completely.

These things are that the history file gets flushed on every clean shell exit (plausible, but I doubt it seeing as there are more than 11 thousand lines in the file as it stands) and that it's not very dependable (again, probably true, however if you're looking for a dead-standard command to make sure it wasn't run over a relatively long period of time, it should do just fine no?).

My take on it is that if there are thousands of lines, chances are that history file isn't getting flushed. If it's meant to, it's not configured correctly.
As for hunting down a supposedly repeated command ran by a certain user, if not the history file then what else can one check exactly (it's been established that no other means of recording commands have been put in place)?

I'm sorry if I come across as a bit irritated, especially as this is my first post on here, but that's because I am a bit irritated hehe! Smilie


I promise I'm very rarely this grouchy.

NAME
minchistory - prints history information for minc files SYNOPSIS
minchistory [options] <file1.mnc> [<file2.mnc> ... ] minchistory will dump the internal history of one or more MINC files DESCRIPTION
minchistory is a perl script that prints the history information in a collection of MINC files. Most MINC files contain an internal "audit trail" that lists the commands used to create the MINC file. This tool provides a convenient way to examine this information. For each file, minchistory prints a title line followed by a series of lines which list the history information for that file. --- History of <filename> --- [01] Wed Oct 13 15:35:35 EST 2004>>>> dicom3_to_minc .
