Let's give this a shot.

I believe by default the shell keeps 1000 entries.

$history = views the history of the commands
$history -c = Clears the history

Maybe you can do a cron or a daemon that redirects the list of commands
to a text file.

Something like this:
#!/bin/bash
$history > ~/command_history.txt
$history -c
done

Just a thought. Someone else might have a better idea thou! :)
