Utility to keep all typed command lines.

I would like to have an accounting utility which will keep not only
the name of the command run but also the arguments, especially for commands
typed at a shell by a human (as opposed to coming from a command file).
Is there an existing utility which does this?  If not, can someone provide
me with info on how to begin writing such a utility?  I would presume it would
be similar to "ps", digging through kmem to get the command strings, or perhaps
it would be better to make a front end to a shell (similar to what script
does)?  Comments?  By the way, this is for Ultrix and doesn't have to be
portable to other flavors of unix.
