Try it out yourself . Put echo "" > ~/.bash_history in your .bash_logout file. Logout, Login. in your .bash_history will be listed all the commands from your previous login session (command prevoius to that were zereoed out from the echo "" > ~/.bash_history statement in the user's .bash_logout. The trick is then upon logout, if you can send yourself an email after his own ~/.bash_logout has been executed you can get a list of commands for that session. That I do not know how to do. But if you figure out how to execute commands after ~/.bash_logout, you can get his commands for that login session. You may also want to do a rm ~/.bash_history touch ~/.bash_history before you email yourself his .bash_history file in case the savy user does something smarter like ln -s ~/.bash_history /dev/null Ben Yau -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
