 |
|
is there a way to log a bash session? this is helpful to rememeebr how i got some things working, bug reports, etc. i am aware of history and .bash_history but these don't record the output of programs. redirecting output using ">" and ">>" doesn't always work and it doesn' t allow you to keep on typing. i could very well cut and paste, but this is not viable if working on virtual consoles without a mouse. any ideas?
thanks,
tuco

This might work for you. | Code: | | bash -i 2>&1 | tee logfile |
Unfortunately that doesn't log the commands, just the output. I think there is some way to have bash echo commands to stdout too but I don't know how.
Also ncurses apps won't work in that shell. |

| history is kind of nice too, as script needs to be started before you do something. |
