Hi,
I want to write the sequence of operation of a user interactive process (Question asked by the process and answers user entered) in to a log file.

I used tee command,
Precess1 | tee -a FileName

This write only the Question asked by the process. Does anybody know how to write the user inputs also to the same file, synchronized?

Thanks in advance.

You can try two options.

Process1 2>&1 | tee -a filename

and, (i think better) You can start the shell vía screen and save the session to a file.

man screen.

Hi randolf_carter,

Thank you very much for the reply.

1st option is not working as 2>&1 merge stderr to the stdout. So still the user inputs are not recorded in the log file.

2nd option, I see that "screen" is pretty similar to "script" command.

Problem here is that I issue that command "Process1 | tee -a FileName" within another shell program's prompt.( It also need to write several such commands to the same log on one request.) With the "screen" command, it quit that shell and return back to the prompt after "exit" the "screen". SO that also seem to be of no use.

Do you think it still help my scenario?
