I think what your looking for is tail, but I just tried it and it would
freeze the particular tty used until I pressed
you should check out typescript
man typescript

Do you know which package it is in? I searched for it on sunsite and the LSM but it didn't show up. -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

Sorry, the program itself is called script, typescript is the default output file. Last I needed it, I was using SuSE6.0 and I didn't have to go looking for it, as it was already installed. It should still be in the default installation. Afterall, it is one of the most useful little programs. It is simply great for making a record of compile errors.
