Thread: terminal logger using script command

hi,

every time open terminal cml magic, i'd entire session automatically logged. (including set ps1 variable before $, added timestamp + date ps1 can know when did what.)

trying inside .bashrc file:

code:

#log in terminal   script -afq ~/log/shell.log.txt

but not work, strange output , standard .bashrc run not exit properly. have ctrl + c , kills .bashrc invocation because not ps1 colors/date formatted.

it's hard google strategy also, because every time type in .bashrc + logger + script in google newbie tutorials "running scripts , purpose of bashrc".

next step write bash script archive every terminal run in individual files time stamp. i'm sure breeze once figured out.

1 more thing, if run script inside terminal, output formatted strangely. weird line feed characters so:

code:

^c^[]0;

any advice on how can format output script command? , if have advice or resource on how can google script command examples or tutorials appreciate it, because when google script + format output, don't pertinent results.

i've tried script command interactively, , has work me in past (except when running editor vi though). have tried running manually when initiate session?

btw, running ubuntu desktop edition? because alternative modify gnome-terminal launcher, , add -e option:

• right click on launcher.
• select properties.
• modify command line looks this:
  
  code:

  gnome-terminal -e "script ./log/shell.log.txt"

thought, hope helps.
