Re: Yet another tool for Command_line_history for Linux DBA

I remember HP-UX had a shell capable of doing this. One of the nicest features was that un-echoed entries were captured as well. Very usefull on a project where I didn't have dba-rights. Ask the dba for some kind of favor when is in the neighbourhood, and he starts SQL*plus, enters 'system' and then the password.
Next time, I didn't need to ask the DBA ;-)

Bottom-line: before using these tools, check whether security isn't violated by them.
