The simplest thing to do is to run the output through tee (that's
/usr/bin/tee and you should read its man page). If you need to capture
stderr output, be sure to do so (command 2>&1 | tee logfile in bash).
You can also use xterm's builtin logging facility. Read the xterm man page
to learn more about it. You will have to mess with Xt resources to bind a
key to turning logging on and off, or just run xterm with the -l option to
turn it on.
