    Set HISTTIMEFORMAT

    Hi Mace,

    I need to know or would like to see a date/time stamp on them. Is that possible??
    Of course. If you want to see timestamp also for the history command, set the shell variable HISTTIMEFORMAT to 1 and the time stamp information associated with the command will also get written into the history file, which by default is $HOME/.bash_history for Bash and can be changed by modifying the shell variable HISTFILE.

    With Regards,
