Capture whoami log on a specific command

// AIX 6.1 TL8

Please advise on how to capture whoami log or the user and time info into a log file (i.e. /tmp/cmdcapture.log) whenever users are executing a certain command(s) so that I can keep the single log history (for all users) of who did what. The command(s) I need to monitor are a few.
Please advise Smilie

Which commands are they? Are they all administration things?

The commands I am looking are:
scpview ***
qcp ***
/usr/bin/scp ***
Please advise.
