Question

How to view the list of commands that I used on a device over a period of time (with date and time stamp)?


Solution

Run the HISTTIMEFORMAT bash command to configure the history command with date and time format. This helps in reviewing the commands used on a device over a period of time with date and time stamp.


Example:

bash:~$ HISTTIMEFORMAT="%d/%m/%y %T "
bash:~$ history
