Re: [opensuse] extended lastcomm ??

Well... if that were a solution lastcomm wouldn't exist, or? :-) Furthermore, .bash_history can be deleted, edited, etc thus is not so reliable... And yes, you can also modify utmp and wtmp but to do that is a bit more complicated... So the idea is to have an accounting tool which offers more extended information Cheers, Martin ----- Original Message ----

Hi all,

as you know, lastcomm will give you information about the previously executed commands. http://www.gnu.org/software/acct/manual/html_node/lastcomm.html has a better description anyway.

...

From the example shown on that page you can see that the output is a bit too rough as it only shows the command, not the arguments... So if I execute 'vi /etc/passwd', lastcomm will show me this:

vi martin pts/4 0.19 secs Tue Jul 23 14:13

and not "vi /etc/passwd" as I'd like to...

Can anyone suggest me such an accounting tool which offers such level of detail?

TIA, Martin

Have a look at your .bash_history file which shows what was actually typed at the command prompt.
