If You know what for is bash_history, its easy to understand.

try to execute command: history

do You see when each command has been executed ?

1001 2008-07-31 19:42:46 command1
1002 2008-07-31 19:42:54 command2
1003 2008-07-31 19:43:00 command3
1004 2008-07-31 19:43:25 ...

I have found nice tutorial how to format bash_profile.

Thanks! Post is solved...

Note thought that while this web log presents its solution, which you could get from reading the Bash manual page anyway, in a next best thing to sliced bread kind of way it fails to mention that this will only work with recent Bash versions. It is not backward compatible as well.
