Is process accounting good enough?  It'll record the name of the
commands run by all users, what terminal they were run from, how much
cpu time they used, and start and stop times.  

See the man pages for acct(5) and lastcomm(1).  It's turned on by
setting accounting_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf, and running
/etc/rc.d/accounting start
