logging input and output on an shell

[phil atkinson]

What is the UNIX command that puts all the text commands entered and all the responses from the system in a file thus allowing simple monitoring of a text terminal session.

Hi,
The command you are looking for is is "script" ... I believe. Check out the manpage.

Regards,
Tom

Tom is right
#script


Thanks

yes - to log input and output type:
script
when you don't want to capture this anymore hit d (control key + d) to stop logging

Thank you for all your help. I had used the command before but could not remember the name(thats getting older!)
