Hi,
Examining the Debian Linux logfiles, I found out that not all commands are logged in my pacct (/var/log/account/pacct)
For instance, if I run and stop Wireshark and do after that
# lastcomm | grep "wireshark"
The wireshark command is logged as expected.
# lastcomm | grep "wireshark"
wireshark X user pts/4 0.68 secs Sun Jul 1 18:55
#
But if i do the same with for instance Gedit, then i got nothing.
# lastcomm | grep "gedit"
#
What could be the reason for that?
I looked already for quite a long time on the internet for answers but couldn't find them. And all the tutorials talk about the logging of ALL executed commands, not about any exceptions. So, I am a bit confused.
Till now, all the applications i tested where graphical applications of Gnome those are not logged, like:
gedit, gthumb and evolution. So just a thought: Could the reason perhaps lie in the fact that those applications are part of some bigger 'application' that is still running?
