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 '

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.
