I am currently teaching a class in unix and am a novice regarding the
actual use of the OS. I want a way to record the students activity on
the server per class session without all history being included. I
opened .bash_history for each student and deleted the history and now
nothing is placed in the .bash_history file. What can I do to change
this goof and is there a better way of doing what I want to do?

man bash
/HISTFILE

Out of curiousity, why is a novice teaching the class?

Try using script(1).

Sounds like the classic "Complete waste of time and money" class. I've
taken it a few times, but unfortunately the credits don't seem to transfer
from one to another, and it always has a different course desription.

But yes, it sounds like they have the wrong person teaching the right
class, or the right person teaching the wrong class.
