Hey Tim,
Thanks. Yeah, we found that the hard way as well and it will certainly
be in the docs.
Best regards,
Mike

I was looking to get this setup on my Mac, but it appears that the
HISTTIMEFORMAT is a bash 3.0+ feature and my Mac OS X 10.4 only has
2.0 by default.

I guess a port is available here, http://bash.darwinports.com/, but I
haven't tried that yet. Anyway, something to consider for the docs.
Thanks,

Excellent news, Cedric. That adds a whole new user base for our CLI sensor.
I will work on updating the documentation.

Hi,
I was just reading bash documentation, and realized that our command
line invocation sensor can be used with BASH.
The problem we encountered was that bash history does not contain a
time stamp field. It turns out that there is a bash shell variable
that controls the time stamp setting. You can try to set
HISTTIMEFORMAT='%H:%M:%S '
and see what happens when you type 'history'.
The format string is documented in <time.h> strftime() function. It
can be changed to match csh time stamp format. So what we actually
need is just some extra user documentation for our sensor to work with
bash.
Cheers,
Cedric
