Hi Debian users,
I wonder if there's a simple and universal way to dump output
of terminal to a file, particularly for demonstration purposes.
not sure if this would do:
screendump
Yes, Manu! That's exactly what I was looking for!
It seems to be kinda smarter alternative to copying /dev/vcs?, which:
* ignores garbage characters
* ignores spaces at the end of line
The fact is that to make it work, you must grant user read rights
for /dev/vcs? and /dev/vcsa?, which potentially might be a security
issue (as user's process might have access to other tty contents),
but for my purpose (testing on VMWares / asking at mailing lists ;D),
it's not really a disadvantage.
Thanks a lot, guys, now I have a nice new set of toys to play with :-D
Al.
