Didn't work for me. Distro = ubuntu
manpage doesn't list the HISTTIMEFORMAT either.

Ever look at the output of your history command and wonder when you
executed that command? If one sets the HISTTIMEFORMAT bash variable then
the history entries will have a timestamp.
The format variables can be found in the date command.
Ex:
keith at r31$ export HISTTIMEFORMAT=%d%h%y\ %H:%M
produces output like:
528 07Apr05 15:44 ls /var/www
529 07Apr05 15:45 less .bash_profile
530 07Apr05 15:53 history | tail
once you've got the HISTTIMEFORMAT you'd like, make the setting occur at
each login by putting it in ~/.bash_profile for login shells or
~/.bashrc for non-login shells.
