Check out the 'lastcomm' command from the 'psacct' package.  It's many
years since I used it, so you'll have to read the docs to see what
setting up it requires.  I think you just run the 'accton' command to
enable process accounting, and then 'lastcomm' can be used to show the
last commands exectued by users.
