View log what commands where executed?

[PrinzLangweilig]

Hi,

is there a log, which saves what commands where executed in the shell e.g. via ssh?

Yeah, history.
Go to a terminal and simply type "history" If you want to make it easier to read:

history | less

If you want to search for something (example "banana")

 history | grep banana

in which file is it stored? and how can i configure it?

Another way to work with the history is to use the file ~/.bash_history, it is where history gets its data from.
