Re-reading your first post. The Shell History is a feature of the particular Shell you run. It is not present in every Shell and it is not specific to HP-UX.

Your sysadmin is right. If the command is in a non-shared Shell History file then you can reasonably assume that the command was issued by that account (but not neccesarily by the owner of that account).
You cannot assume that the command did what you expect based on one line. You can create a Shell Script in your account with the same name as system command - but a completely different function (as those who create programs called "test" soon find out).

If the command is in nobody's Shell History file then you can make no assumptions.

What you can never do is use a Shell History file alone to accuse an individual of typing something.

Let's be careful out there.

CPANPLUS::Shell::Default::Plugins::Source(3pm)		 Perl Programmers Reference Guide	    CPANPLUS::Shell::Default::Plugins::Source(3pm)

NAME
CPANPLUS::Shell::Default::Plugins::Source - read in CPANPLUS commands SYNOPSIS
CPAN Terminal> /source /tmp/list_of_commands /tmp/more_commands DESCRIPTION
This is a "CPANPLUS::Shell::Default" plugin that works just like your unix shells source(1) command; it reads in a file that has commands in it to execute, and then executes them. A sample file might look like this: # first, update all the source files x --update_source # find all of my modules that are on the CPAN # test them, and store the error log a ^KANE$' t * p /home/kane/cpan-autotest/log # and inform us we're good to go ! print "Autotest complete, log stored; please enter your commands!" Note how empty lines, and lines starting with a '#' are being skipped in the execution. BUG REPORTS
