The .bash_history file has no date or time information in it. Sometimes it would be very nice to know when some command got executed.
What i did is add the following 2 lines in /etc/profile:
HISTTIMEFORMAT='%F %T ' export HISTTIMEFORMAT
Now logout, and log back in. Execute a command and check ‘history’:
mark@localhost:~$ history
