SCRIPT(1,C) AIX Commands Reference SCRIPT(1,C) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- script PURPOSE Makes typescript of terminal session. SYNTAX +------+ +--------+ script ---| |---| |---| +- -a -+ +- file -+ DESCRIPTION The script command makes a typescript of everything printed on your terminal. The typescript is written to file, or appended to file if the -a option is given. It can be sent to the line printer later. If no file name is given, the typescript is saved in the file typescript. The script ends with an end-of-file (often, ctrl D). This program is useful when using a CRT and a hard-copy record of the dialog is desired, as for a student handing in a program that was developed on a CRT when hard-copy terminals are in short supply. The script command, when run on a block mode terminal such as the 3270 console of an AIX/370 system, will echo characters only as they are sent to the system. This is usually line at a time rather than character at a time. If logging of keystrokes on the console is desired, the tlogger command is recommended in favor of the script command. RELATED INFORMATION See the following commands: "tlogger," "tlog," and "tee." Processed March 8, 1991 SCRIPT(1,C) 1
