script
Official Description
Makes a transcript of the terminal session.
Syntax
script [-a] [file]
Options
-a appends the transcript to an existing file rather than writing it to a new file (or clobbering the existing file).
Oddities
Writes to a file named typescript by default.
If you do not specify the -a option and the file exists, it is clobbered.
Be sure to terminate your script session with an exit command. A script session left on inadvertently will eventually tie up large amounts of disk space.
Example
$ script # Start screen capture Script started, file is typescript $ ps PID TTY S TIME CMD 725 console I + 0:00.02 /usr/sbin/getty console console vt100 775 pts/1 S 0:00.10 -ksh (ksh) 2729 pts/1 S + 0:00.00 script 2730 pts/1 S + 0:00.00 ...
