Setting HISTTIMEFORMAT in bash to get timestamps in the history report just isn't working:



> fgrep HISTTIMEFORMAT ~/.bashrc
export HISTTIMEFORMAT='%m-%d-%y %T '
> bash
> history | tail -20
181 git status
182 man git-push
183 history | tail
184 help history
185 export HISTTIMEFORMAT="%d.%m.%y %T "
186 history | tail
187 export HISTTIMEFORMAT="%m-%d-%y %T"
188 history | tail
189 HISTTIMEFORMAT="%m-%d-%y %T"
190 history | tail
191 echo $HISTTIMEFORMAT
192 man 3 strftime
193 set | fgrep HIST
194 HISTTIMEFORMAT='%m-%d-%y %T '
195 history | tail
196 export HISTTIMEFORMAT='%m-%d-%y %T '
197 history | tail
198 bash
199 export HISTTIMEFORMAT
200 history |tail -2
> set | fgrep HIST
HISTCONTROL=ignoredups
HISTFILE=/home/eewanco/.bash_history
HISTFILESIZE=200
HISTSIZE=200
HISTTIMEFORMAT='%m-%d-%y %T '

BASH_LINENO=()
BASH_SOURCE=()
BASH_VERSINFO=([0]="4" [1]="1" [2]="2" [3]="1" [4]="release" [5]="x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu")
BASH_VERSION='4.1.2(1)-release'


I vaguely recall having similar trouble and successfully getting this to work at a previous company with a special trick but I can't remember what it was. The history file is logging timestamps correctly, in fact I was able to get the information I wanted with a date -d @ command, but I want this solved for future usage. I've seen logs of people doing precisely what I did and it works for them. It works fine on my Samsung tablet.
