what the easiest way to get to all '.bash_history' files on the whole drive ?
getent passwd | cut -d ':' -f 6 | (while read i; do cat $i/.bash_history; done)
where
getend passwd
lists all the records in the password system (be it /etc/passwd file, NIS,
LDAP or whatever)
cut -d ':' -f 6
gets the home directory field from those records
while read i
loops through each of those directories
cat $i/.bash_history
is the command you want to run
a more refined version might say
if [ -f $i/.bash_history ]; then echo "--- $i ---"; cat $i/.bash_history;
fi
Best of luck,
Glen
