Modifying .bashrc to send history to syslog, problems with quotes
Attempting to enable logging of bash commands to syslog, including the ip of the logged in ssh user. The end goal is to have a script which will echo 'export PROMPT_COMMAND=....'' >> ~/.bashrc
This works if I manually edit .bashrc:
export PROMPT_COMMAND='trap "" 1 2 15; history -a >(tee -a ~/.bash_history | while read line; do if [[ $line =~ ^#[0-9]*$ ]]; then continue; fi; logger -p local3.debug -t "bash[$$]" "($USER $SSH_CONNECTION) $line"; done); trap 1 2 15;'
Adding awk '{print $1}' causes problems, I suspect because of quotes.
This doesn't work:
export PROMPT_COMMAND='trap "" 1 2 15; history -a >(tee -a ~/.bash_history | while read line; do if [[ $line =~ ^#[0-9]*$ ]]; then continue; fi; logger -p local3.debug -t "bash[$$]" "($USER) $(echo $SSH_CONNECTION | awk '{print $1}') $line"; done); trap 1 2 15;'
Attempting to wrap these quotes in the echo 'export PROMPT_COMMAND=....'' >> ~/.bashrc is also giving me a headache.
Any suggestions on both of these issues?
