Hello, I was hoping that someone could help me out. I would be much obliged. I need a shell program that will record what a user enters, write it to a file (possibly in the user's home directory), a time stamp, and, say, the first 100 characters of text that the command issued produced. No control charachters should appear in the file. I've concluded that a really long .history isn't good enough. I've been trying to write one using ptys but since I'm not so great of a programmer, I'm hoping someone out there has already written such a thing.
Maybe "script" can help you. Try to see "man script" for details. But, first of all read the bugs section: "The script utility places everything in the log file, including linefeeds and backspaces. This is not what the naive user expects." Best regards, Alex "SibProgrammer" Yuzhakoff, NOC, Internet of Siberia Co., Novosibirsk, Russia. Phone/Fax: (+7 3832) 11-92-82, http://www.ios.ru
