Shell Logging Program

Hello,

I was hoping that someone could help me out. I would be much obliged. I need a shell program that will record what a user enters, write it to a file (possibly in the user's home directory), a time stamp, and, say, the first 100 characters of text that the command issued produced. No control charachters should appear in the file. I've concluded that a really long .history isn't good enough. I've been trying to write one using ptys but since I'm not so great of a programmer, I'm hoping someone out there has already written such a thing.

Cordially,
MK
