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. - parv -- To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
