SCRIPT(1) — User’s Manual — Commands

NAME

script − make typescript of terminal session

SYNOPSIS

script [ −a ] [ file ]

DESCRIPTION

Script makes a typescript of everything printed on your terminal. The typescript is written to file, or appended to file if the −a option is given. It can be sent to the line printer later with lpr. If no file name is given, the typescript is saved in the file typescript.

The script ends when the forked shell exits.

OPTIONS

Append the script to the specified file instead of writing over it.

BUGS

Script places everything in the log file. This is not what the naive user expects.
