We should probably make this an option instead of requiring editing the
script for this.  Added to my sticky note of things to get to eventually

The main difficulty is how do you monitor and record what someone
arbitrarily does in shell.  If they, eg, launch python and run a command
how do you know what they did there?  This is definitely an area where
if someone wanted to do some work that it could make a big difference.
