shell history - date + time ?
|
|
|
| Anyone got a setting or script that would dated/time the commands in ksh/bash history ?
This isn't for security purpose so I am not looking for audit style logging...
TIA.

man bash:
HISTTIMEFORMAT
If this variable is set and not null, its value is used as a
format string for strftime(3) to print the time stamp associated
with each history entry displayed by the history builtin. If
this variable is set, time stamps are written to the history
file so they may be preserved across shell sessions.

This seem to be effective only for bash version 3.x ...
However, using it to search showed something related with PROMPT_COMMAND which might work.
Thanks.
