on startup to something like "%Y-%m-%dT%T " bash will both display<br>
the timestamp of all commands when you use the 'history' command,<br>
but also store the timestamps in the .bash_history file.<br>

Now I have an automatic trail of timed breadcrumbs in case I need it,<br>
for all my shell work.<br>

Just passing along the tip.<br>
