User Commands                                           script(1)



NAME
     script - make record of a terminal session

SYNOPSIS
     script [-a] [filename]

DESCRIPTION
     The script utility makes a record of everything  printed  on
     your  screen.  The record is written to filename. If no file
     name is given, the record is saved in the  file  typescript.
     See WARNINGS.

     The script command forks and creates a sub-shell,  according
     to  the value of $SHELL, and records the text from this ses-
     sion. The script ends when the forked shell  exits  or  when
     Control-d is typed.

OPTIONS
     The following option is supported:

     -a       Appends the session record to filename, rather than
              overwriting it.



NOTES
     script places everything  that  appears  on  the  screen  in
     filename, including prompts.

WARNINGS
     script can pose a security risk  when  used  in  directories
     that  are writable by other users (for example, /tmp), espe-
     cially when run by a privileged user, that is, root. Be sure
     that typescript is not a link before running script.
