christopher, i know about the command "script". i avoid it whenever
i can for two reasons: (1) sometimes it's impossible to send SIGTSTP
(STOP signal from keyboard) and (2) control characters at the end of
line.
i use following syntax as appropriate...
# command >& log
# command > log 2>&1
# command | tee [-a] log
thanks anyway.
