Seeking way to track all program / service execution

[Tim Puskas]

Is there a way to track / log the start and end of all program executions
while the system is running? Overhead could be significant, but looking to
see / verify what is / has run during a period of time. I am not looking for
a way of debugging a specific application. Instead, looking to record,
track, audit all pgms that have run.
