User Command Monitor
Hi all,
i was wondering if there is a script or package which will record every command executed by the user while he login.
Cheers,

Commands are saved in the history file.

For bash, the default is ~/.bash_history.

For more information, see your shell's man page.

Ctrl+D doesn't send a signal, it marks the end of file.
You can either change that sequence (stty eof ...) or
ignore it (bash - IGNOREEOF, ksh, zsh, (t)csh - ignoreeof).
