PASE - yum history with Command line field

By kimot, 27 December, 2022

If you see field "Login user" in yum history list command

bash-5.1$ yum history list
ID     | Login user               | Date and time    | Action(s)      | Altered
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    40 |  <admin1>               | 2022-05-10 16:30 | Update         |    1
    39 |  <admin1>               | 2022-05-10 16:30 | Update         |    2
    38 |  <qsecofr>              | 2022-03-25 13:01 | I, U           |    2
    37 |  <admin1>               | 2022-03-25 12:59 | Update         |    1
    36 |  <admin2>               | 2022-03-25 12:59 | Update         |    1

But you'd rather have a Command line in the listing

bash-5.1$ yum history list
ID     | Command line             | Date and time    | Action(s)      | Altered
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    40 | upgrade libopenssl1_1    | 2022-05-10 16:30 | Update         |    1
    39 | upgrade rpm              | 2022-05-10 16:30 | Update         |    2
    38 | upgrade python2          | 2022-03-25 13:01 | I, U           |    2
    37 | upgrade tn5250           | 2022-03-25 12:59 | Update         |    1
    36 | upgrade yum-utils        | 2022-03-25 12:59 | Update         |    1
