Process accounting (I presume you don't mean exactly what you say - I
presume you meant to say you'd like to look at the log of all the shell
commands issued by a particular user from his login shell. That's
trivially easy. But it's pretty meaningless, as most "commands",
say gui "commands" are not issued from a shell, but by direct execv
from some launcher or other interface. Besides, you aren't even
interested in "commands", if you are sensible, but in system or
library calls! So the answer is "PA").
