Hi,
I'm running "screen ./script.sh" which has output messages that I can see only if the screen didn't terminate. Once it's terminated, all the output is gone somewhere (I guess). How can I redirect or copy/paste all the screen window to a file?
I've tried the regular redirection '>', no use. The only thing I found in screen command is the Ctrl+a [ which stops the window from scrolling and then I can copy the parts I want, but this is no use if I logged out of the window and missed the part I want. Any ideas?
Could you please paste the contents of the script so that we can understand what exactly this script does. Please paste the output of the following command:

Hi Savanna3000;
Have you tried using redirection in the bash shell? Example: "screen ./script.sh > filename 2>&1" would send both normal and error messages to 'filename'.
