Store time stamp for .csh shell users
How do I store the time stamps of each command executed for C shell users?

However, I am able to set this for Bash users with this command:

Code:
export HISTTIMEFORMAT="%F %T "

This is how a typical .cshrc look like for a Cshell user:

Code:
[root@H99XXX]# more .cshrc

# necessary to get hostname without domain (AIX, OS/390 and NOT sun)
switch (`uname`)
   case AIX*:
   case OS/390*:
   case Linux*:
       alias hostname 'hostname -s'
   breaksw
endsw

set hist=5000------------------i added this
set savehist=5000------------i added this

# SAP environment
if ( -e $HOME/.sapenv_`hostname`.csh ) then 
   source $HOME/.sapenv_`hostname`.csh
else if ( -e $HOME/.sapenv.csh ) then  
   source $HOME/.sapenv.csh
endif

# APO environment                          
if ( -e $HOME/.apoenv_`hostname`.csh ) then
   source $HOME/.apoenv_`hostname`.csh     
endif                                      

# RDBMS environment
if ( -e $HOME/.dbenv_`hostname`.csh ) then 
   source $HOME/.dbenv_`hostname`.csh
else if ( -e $HOME/.dbenv.csh ) then  
   source $HOME/.dbenv.csh
endif

As far as I know, csh does not have that feature but tcsh has it. Check man pages for both.

I do believe you are right, I am not able to find any examples online also except for history query command. Unfortunately the users do not have a tcsh shell.

Solved
I managed to do it in csh with this in place (and the end of .cshrc file)

Code:
echo "Date is: `date`" >> /var/log/user_history/priti_history
set histfile=/var/log/user_history/priti_history
set history=5000
set savehist=5000

Output:

Code:
HAXXX:priti> history
     1  12:21   Date is: Mon Jan 16 12:21:53 JST 2012
     2  12:21   Date is: Mon Jan 16 12:21:54 JST 2012
     3  12:21   echo
     4  19:09   Date i

1. provided that this dir is already created /var/log/user_history/ with enough permissions for users' history logs to get written there:

Code:
[root@H99AXX log]# ls -ld user_history
drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 4096 Jan 16 11:33 user_history
[root@H99A100 log]# pwd
/var/log

[root@H99AXX user_history]# ls -la
total 96
drwxrwxr-x  2 root          root     4096 Jan 16 11:33 .
drwxr-xr-x 17 root          root     4096 Jan 19 04:02 ..
-rw-rw-rw-  1 db2s12        dbs12adm  414 Jan 16 12:01 .db2as_bash_history
-rw-r--r--  1 db2s12        root     2502 Jan 19 03:46 .db2s12_history
