Is there anyway to determine when a command was run on Gentoo, through a terminal session?

I know the 'history' command shows the list of commands, but I would like to see if there is a time stamp.

This link got me

http: //larsmichelsen.com/open-source/bash-timestamp-in-bash-history/

This assumes that you're using bash.

Moved from Gentoo Chat to Portage & Programming as it's not about Gentoo itself.

As the link that eccerr0r posted shows you need to set HISTTIMEFORMAT, assuming you're using bash. Obviously this will only show you the timestamp after you've set it, for commands before that it will just use the current time which is then cached.

Jarli ...

zsh timestamps (with 'shopt extended_history' set) ... the history file can then be parsed with the following:

Code:
# perl -lne 'm#: (\d+):\d+;(.+)# && printf "%s :: %s\n",scalar localtime $1,$2' $HISTFILE

I'm not sure if bash timestamps are constructed in a similar manner but is should be parsable none the less with a similar oneliner.

best ... khay
