What is a simple BASH script command to copy the contents of the Konsole screen to a log file as the information is being display?

display info to script.log

I have tried the > script.log ,which created the log file, but no information is added to the log.

Perhaps try "script filename", exit with ctrl-d

Hmm, I think I misunderstood the question, try this: http://en.tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prog-Intro-HOWTO-3.html

Ok I have had time to try all of the following commands:

grep da * 2> log.txt
grep da * 1>&2 >log.txt
grep * 2>&1 >log.txt

all of these commands will create some type of log, but not what I am looking for. I am trying to have all of the information displayed on the konsole screen out puted to a log file as a script is run. Including the information in the script and the commands output responce. I need all of the following to be writen to a log file:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
sample script X_umount.sh
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

umount: /dev/fd0
umount: /dev/scd0
umount: /dev/sda1
umount: /dev/hda8
umount: /dev/hda10
umount: /dev/hda11
echo "The following devices have been umounted in /test ..... floppy,cdrom,usb,D2,D3,D4,D5,D6,D7 "

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
resulting konsole screen output
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
root@localhost root]# ./X_umount.sh

umount: /dev/fd0: not mounted
umount: /dev/scd0: not mounted
umount: /dev/sda1: not found
umount: /usr: device is busy
umount: /var: device is busy
umount: /dev/hda8: not mounted
umount: /tmp: device is busy
umount: /dev/hda10: not mounted
umount: /dev/hda11: not mounted
The following devices have been umounted in /test ..... floppy,cdrom,usb,D2,D3,D4,D5,D6,D7,

[root@localhost root]#
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

makuyl's idea of using script should work for you.

OK I tried the command

rm -rf /

The command did write the information I needed to a log file, but also delete some system files. Good thing I tried this only on a test unit. Once I get the system back up and running I will try just -rf /

The "rm -rf /" part is his signature and is a joke. I suggest you don't try it again.

Noooooooo , dont use that command as it will delete everything in ur system

ok thanks. I will not use the command.

You can't possibly be serious....
