[LUNI] Capturing what comes accross the screen

[Gerald Guglielmo]

Hi,
    Probably not what you are looking for for capturing the output, but 
under bash I sometimes do the following:

./myscript  > tmp.out 2>&1 # stdout and stderr to tmp.out
./myscript  > tmp.out 2> tmp.err # stdout to tmp.out and stderr to tmp.err

Does help with the keyboard capture but can be useful. Also the first 
method is best when the output is sparse and the second when there is a 
lot of output and you want to easily see if there were any errors. There 
are many tools you just need to find one you like for the job at hand.

If no one comes up with a tool for capturing input, maybe a small script 
can be written to write and execute what you type. I haven't tried this 
myself but I bet someone else has.
