From the outside? No.
You could look at the process' raw memory contents, but that's akin to trying to read a hard drive with an electron microscope.
Since you're root, though, why not just kill their shell, then grab the history?

Hi,
Is it possible to reduce the amount of buffer cache in the memory allocation of a Unix Server? If so where can I do that?
Also, does buffer cache count as tied up memory, or will it decrease as more memory is requested by other programs. (1 Reply)

Hi,
I am trying to understand the role of buffer cache in block I/O.
I am monitoring /proc/meminfo, my question is does the value of 0 for 'buffers', mean that any subsequent disk read issued by a process, would get the data physically from the disk, and not an allocated buffer for the block?

BASHBUG(1) General Commands Manual BASHBUG(1)
NAME
bashbug - report a bug in bash
SYNOPSIS
bashbug [--version] [--help] [email-address]
DESCRIPTION
bashbug is a shell script to help the user compose and mail bug reports concerning bash in a standard format. bashbug invokes the editor
specified by the environment variable EDITOR on a temporary copy of the bug report format outline. The user must fill in the appropriate
fields and exit the editor. bashbug then mails the completed report to bug-bash@gnu.org, or email-address. If the report cannot be
mailed, it is saved in the file dead.bashbug in the invoking user's home directory.
The bug report format outline consists of several sections. The first section provides information about the machine, operating system,
the bash version, and the compilation environment. The second section should be filled in with a description of the bug. The third sec-
tion should be a description of how to reproduce the bug. The optional fourth section is for a proposed fix. Fixes are encouraged.
ENVIRONMENT
bashbug will utilize the following environment variables if they exist:
EDITOR Specifies the preferred editor. If EDITOR is not set, bashbug defaults to emacs.
HOME Directory in which the failed bug report is saved if the mail fails.
TMPDIR Directory in which to create temporary files and directories.
