====== Script ======

= script :: How to Log or Record a SSH Terminal Session/Exerpt =

Copying and pasting text from putty into notepad (for use in an email for example) is less than ideal. Although [[screen]] can be setup to record/log a screen session, it cannot be done on the fly (immediately). 

**script** is a very handy and simple tool which will log/record a SSH session when invoked.

====== Basic Usage ======
 **<nowiki>//</nowiki>Invoke:**
 script
 <nowiki>//</nowiki>starts a new session and starts logging it. If no parameters are given, it logs by default to: ~/typescript
 <nowiki>//</nowiki>or
 script filenameout
 
 **<nowiki>//</nowiki>End:**
 exit
 <nowiki>//</nowiki>exit will exit the script session

====== Advanced Usage ======
 script -t 2>~/filename.time -a ~/filename.script
 scriptreplay ~/filename.time ~/filename.script
