Issue/Introduction

The commands are not shown in key logger command log via 'seaudit -kbl -sid xxx -cmd' if the commands are entered before returning to prompt from previous command.

example:
1. login to server as the user who has audit(interactive).
2. enter some commands before returning to prompt from previous command.
-----
$ sleep 10
id
whoami
$ id
uid=101(user01) gid=1(other)
$ whoami
user01
-----
In above case, 'id' and 'whoami' are the entered commands before returning to prompt from previous command ('sleep 10').

3. check kbl command log
-----
# seaudit -kbl -sid xxxx -cmd
