Peoples,

How can you use Bourne shell to capture all the stdout and stdin of a shell
script?

I have a script that asks a number of questions, and I want to capture the
questions and answers
in a file called results.log.

How do I go about it? It would really be nice if this could be done entirely
within the script without
user intervention other than answering the questions.

Thanks
Michael Mercer
