in what sense won't it work? the complete line is in the output of ps somewhere albeit after wildcard/shell expansion.

With the pipe? I'd really like to see an example, beacuse I couldn't coax it out of ps, and it might be handy someday.

ah okay, wasn't sure about the pipe, figured it might not show up in ps.

if life were that simple. it's user X running the php script from the commandline ... I wanna know exactly what he is doing (which is not necessarily the same as what he should be doing). I only really control the php script in question not the context it is run in.

You should have said... you are the admin of the machine, right? Patch bash to log user input. Google variations on bash, patch and syslog.

I'll take a gander, although I doubt I'll get permission to actually patch something like that ... client is pretty adament about having a std box. anyway, Im much the wiser, thanks for the info everyone.
