is there anyway to allow the shell to record the

yet avoiding the users to edit it..
You need process accounting for this. 'acct' is a gnu process
accounting system.
On debian the package details of acct is
Description: The GNU Accounting utilities for process and login
accounting
The GNU Accounting utilities `ac', `accton', `last', `lastcomm', and
`sa' add login and process accounting support to Debian GNU/Linux.
"Login accounting" provides summaries of system resource usage based
on connect time, and "process accounting" provides summaries based
on
the commands executed on the system. The 'last' command is provided
by
the Debian sysvinit package and not included here.
I am sure every other distro should have it
