The command "script" is part of the "bsdutils" package on Debian and
derivatives. (Fedora derivatives probably also have the same name). It
is used as follows:

 1. script -q -t session.record 2> session.timing
 2. The user types commands and does lots of stuff.
 3. The user logs out with exit or logout or whatever.
 4. A complete record of each command typed and every *character*
 sent back by the system is in session.record.
 5. A complete record of the time intervals is in session.timing.

Note that looking through the script transcripts requires some skill
so the command "scriptreplay" is provided in order to replay the
session with appropriate timing. Be careful while using scriptreplay
for terminal escape sequence "bombs".

Look at "man script" and "man scriptreplay" for more information.

Kapil.
