When executed, a new shell will begin and all output to terminal is stored in a file which can be checked after the fact. So, your buildworld will look something like this: # script /tmp/buildworld-output Script started, output file is /tmp/buildworld-output # make buildworld .. lots of text .. # exit Script done, output file is /tmp/buildworld-output # If you see no fatal errors which terminated the buildworld process, it's safe to say that it completed successfully.
