Is there a way to log terminal sessions?

bostonantifan · 10-26-2007, 12:15 PM

I use ubuntu at work, the main task is running an ssh session in Gnome terminal windows. I need to be able to log screen input & output to a file, the same way it can be done using PuTTY on a Windows machine. I've searched around, and haven't been able to find a way to do it. Any help would be appreciated.

The command 'script' is probably what you want.

To save a session to the file 'mySession', you'd use:

Code:

script mySession

You then do all the work you need to. When you're done, type 'exit'.

then if you want to see what was done vi or cat the file
