There is a whole discussion at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20054082 | |
however for bash i used | |
export PROMPT_COMMAND='if [ "$(id -u)" -ne 0 ]; then echo "$(date "+%Y-%m-%d.%H:%M:%S") $(pwd) $(history 1)" >> ~/.logs/bash-history-$(date "+%Y-%m-%d").log; fi' | |
i suspect it is from https://spin.atomicobject.com/2016/05/28/log-bash-history/ | |
in the discussion there is reference to https://github.com/tkf/rash | |
another interesting option - https://www.thegeekdiary.com/how-to-log-every-shell-command-in-linux/ | |
for zsh i used the precmd hook | |
by loading the following. | |
precmd() { | |
if [ "$(id -u)" -ne 0 ] | |
then echo "$(date "+%Y-%m-%d.%H:%M:%S") $(pwd) $(history -1)" >> ~/.logs/bash-history-$(date "+%Y-%m-%d").log | |
fi | |
} | |
it is possible that this would have to be changed to allow multiple precmd hooks |
