Hi Scrutinizer

This is my output

Code:
[root@H99 user_history]# ls -l s12adm_history
-rw-r--r-- 1 s12adm root 1890 Mar 27 12:23 s12adm_history

So if we look at this part of your script, we see that $fdate gets set to "Mar" and $ftime gets set to "27", which I don't think is as intended..

Hi Scrutinizer

I give up, I am using this one-liner added to cron that runs once a month at the end of each month and it worked. Only thing is that I have to set a cron for each users on the system

Code:
cat /var/log/user_history/nttd_jp1_history  | while read line ; do  if [[ $line =~ '^#' ]]; then  date -d "@$(echo $line | cut -c2-)
"; else echo $line ; fi; done
