Asslam-u-Alikum,
Hi,

I am stucked at the point, I want to append | tee -a file.txt for every command that is issued from bash, How to acomplish it ? do any body knows, ?

e.g
if ls command is issued by the user
the bash should append | tee -a file.txt to that command issued
it then completes as ls | tee -a file.txt

Thank You.

Hi,

Maybe you should take a look at script, which will, and I quote from the manpage:

Quote:

Script makes a typescript of everything printed on your terminal. It is
useful for students who need a hardcopy record of an interactive session
as proof of an assignment, as the typescript file can be printed out
later with lpr(1).

Do take a look at script's manpage.

Hope this helps.
