I mean what exactly do you type.
I was expecting 'A command named "script"' in my 2021-01-12 17:16 -0500 thread reply would have been enough for readers to understand that script is a binary utility, not some shell script.
I knew perfectly that it is a command named script. I looked at the man page. Told me nothing.
"Exactly" depends on what you are trying to record. Here's a template:
# script # command 1 # command 2 # command 3 # ... # command n # Ctrl-C # susepaste -n carlos typescript
AHH! Now I understand. This is what I wanted. Thanks :-)
# man script
Has no examples, only a list of options. Useless.
I'm always fascinated by the bizarre mental gymnastics that programmers go through when naming their programs. :-) I would expect a program designed for recording terminal dialog to be called 'record'.
Absolutely! Or capture. Try "apropos capture" or "apropos record". -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.2 x86_64 at Telcontar)
