Thanks a lot jimmy and axel ;-)
* 'script' could do the job, I thought about putting something like
script -q "/tmp/logging/$USER.`date "+%d-%m-%Y.%H:%M:%S"`"
in /etc/profile, so ok the user doesn't notice she's in a forked shell,
until she needs to exit it. Then a double 'exit' is needed, so that will
show her something is wrong, and nothing prevents from doing stuff after
typing the first 'exit'..
Is there a better way to do this with 'script'?
* 'watch' sounds very nice, but I need to be connected at the same time, thus
need a reliable way to get notified about a bash login?
Or is it supposed to be used by launching a couple of watch processes, each
snooping one of the ttyp's? That would work I guess, maybe piped into gzip.
BTW, shouldn't the warn(8) man page warn that /dev/snpX devices needs to be
MAKEDEV'd first? But it's probably just me, I am really skilled at missing
important info in the doc ;-)
Thank you again for your help..
Olivier
