Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Need to track what Commands run in a login session Post 303022503 by RudiC on Sunday 2nd of September 2018 05:13:30 AM

How far would setting the bash shell variable HISTTIMEFORMAT get you?


Code:
2018-09-02 11:07:06 HISTTIMEFORMAT="%F %T "
2018-09-02 11:07:08 history 5
2018-09-02 11:08:58 cat ~/.bash_history 
2018-09-02 11:09:19 history | less


You could append the history command's output to your log file periodically, and / or in ~/.bash_logout.
