I'm sure one of you guys can come up with something off the top
of your heads, but for the life of me I can't recall what we used
to do this at $job-3.
It's basically a process that you start at a shell prompt that
records all the stuff you do into a log file. You can then use
as the basis for writing up documentation, or, possibly as a
basis for automating it.
I want to say the name of it was 'script' but that's so generic
that trying to find the right thing via google or freshmeat is
pretty useless.
I know bash can do something a little like this, but I need a
tool that will catch the entire session, even across 'su-ing' to
various users (I have to install a complex piece of software
tomorrow, and I want to have a record of it).
Thanks--
