Detailed logging for standard action/scripts

This RFE is a follow up to problem record 44584.211.788.
Recently we were surprised by the shutdown of one of our systems. We checked the netlog to see what happened and saw that someone brought the system down via GDPS standard action.
We tried to find out who started the action but the netlog does not clearly show that.
The only thing we could see that a colleague entered the GDPS command and shortly after that the system went down. So, in this case, it was clear who unintentionally brought the system down.
But if there are more people logged on and at the same time are in the GDPS panel it is not obvious who performed a standard action.

So, what we would like to see is a message indicating who started a standard action/script and, if applicable, with the parameters used.
So something like this:
