Timestamping entries in a history file

[donC_1]

Is there a way to timestamp each entry in a users history file (.sh_hist.XXuserXX)? Ideally what I would like to have the file look like would be something like:

17Jun/0857: cd /tmp/jdoe
17Jun/0859: chmod 755 myfile
17Jun/0901: ls -al

Nope - but I guess you could get a copy of ksh or sh and modify it.

You could look into turning on accounting:
man acct
