Issue with Bash Audit Command Logger script | Need help to debug this
Hi Experts,
Request your support
These are step for Bash Audit Command Logger.
I am running below script following below steps.
But the issue is i am not able to generate "userlog.info" file after syslog service restart which is supposed to be produced by following below procedure.
Below is my system OS version.

Step 1
Code :
#Pointsoftware AG, 2013-11-03
#created by francois scheurer
#filename: '/etc/bash_franzi'
#This file must be sourced by '~/.bashrc', which is the last runned startup script for bash invocation for login interactive, login non-interactive and non-login interactive shells.
#
#Having a complete history of all typed commands can be very helpful in many scenarios:
# when several administrators work together on the same server and need to know what was done previously
# when someone need to redo an older sequence of commands or to understand an undocumented maintenance process
# for troubleshooting or forensic analysis, by crosschecking the date of an event or of a file with the commands executed at that date
#
#The standard '.bash_history' file of the shell is unfortunately not written on disk in the case of a crash and it may be deleted by the user.
#Another problem is that when many shell sessions are running concurrently, their logging will only occur when they are closed, therefore the commands of the history will not appear in their chronological order.
#Furthermore, '.bash_history' will not include essential information like the 'working directory' of the command; and by default the repetition or re-edition of commands will not be logged, too.
#
#Some solutions exist to improve this, either by patching or installing binaries:
# 'bash-BOFH' patching and recompiling: works well but need a new patch for each release of the bash
# 'snoopy': is logging all commands except shell builtins
# 'rootsh / sniffy / ttyrpld / ttysnoop': logs everything, also output of commands, it may be useful but it generates very verbose logs
# 'grsecurity' patched kernels: powerful but it may be a not suitable solution if an official kernel is required (e.g. for Oracle DB)
# there is also an old 'sshd' patch ('http://www.kdvelectronics.eu/ssh-logging/ssh-logging.html')
# 'screen -x' can also be useful for cooperation work, but it is not a command logger
#
#In contrast to that, the presented method is very easy to deploy; it is just a shellscript that is running in bash (standard shell on most systems) and therefore it is architecture independent.
#It will allow a complete audit of all commands/builtins executed interactively in the bash.
#Note that a user can avoid calling this file by starting a shell with options like '--norc'; he also can unset or overwrite variables like 'PROMPT_COMMAND'.
#Therefore this script is useful for audit but an alternative solution with bash patching should be considered if the security requirements are the priority.
#
#Note on Solaris:
# In Solaris please use 'grep' without the '-q' option, like this:
# if groups | grep root &>/dev/null
# Please also remove the following line (chattr unsupported in Solaris:
# chattr +a "$HISTFILE"
# Then modify your /etc/syslog.conf to include this line:
# user.info /var/adm/userlog.info
# To assign 'bash' as the login shell in Solaris: passwd -e /bin/bash .
# Make sure that the audit-script is sourced (=included) correctly during the bash invocation.
# If your bash version is too old, $HISTCONTROL will not allow you to log duplicated commands correctly.
# svcadm restart system/system-log
# svcadm disable ssh
# svcadm enable ssh

#do not source this file twice; also do not source it if we are in forcecommand.sh, source it later from "-bash-li"
