How can we locally log all Bash commands run, along with user and time stamp?



I am looking for a way to customize Ash sessions with my own sets of aliases and whatnots. What is the Ash equivalent of Bash's bashrc files?



Standard solution not working:



export PROMPT_COMMAND='RETRN_VAL=$?;logger -p local6.debug "$(whoami) [$$]: $(history 1 | sed "s/^[ ]*[0-9]+[ ]*//" ) [$RETRN_VAL]"'


  • os: linux 4.9

  • bash: .ash

  • logger: busybox (1.27.2) & syslog-ng (3.10)

          This is for rsyslog:




          1. Edit /etc/rsyslog.conf and put there a line



            local6.* /var/log/mylog



          2. Instead of PROMPT_COMMAND export PS1 in /etc/profile for example:



            export PS1='$(RETRN_VAL=$?;logger -p local6.debug "[$$]: $(history | tail -1) [$RETRN_VAL]")u@h:w$ '


          Of course you can change the command to get rid of unnecessary characters from history output.
