About script
Records everything printed on your screen. The record
is recorded to the filename, if no filename is specified results are
recorded to the file transcript.
Syntax
script [-a] filename
| -a |
Append the session record to filename, rather than overwrite it. |
| filename |
The name of the file that you wish
the results to be stored. |
Examples
script myfile.txt - Will log all results into the
file myfile.txt. This will open a sub-shell and records all information
through this session. The script ends when the forked shell exits
(user types exit) or
when CTRL-D is typed.
Note: If the script file is deleted during the
script process the script still remains in memory however will not log
the results.
