'script' is the command you are looking for (e.g. 'script /tmp/logfile'). it forks a sub-shell, and all input & output is logged to the logfile. scripting ends when the sub-shell ends (e.g. you type "exit") see "man script" for details. craig -- craig sanders -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
