And as you mentioned scripts, I'll mention script(1) again.

tzafrir@sweetmorn:~$ script /tmp/log
Script started, file is /tmp/log
tzafrir@sweetmorn:~$ which mozilla
/usr/bin/mozilla
tzafrir@sweetmorn:~$ exit
Script done, file is /tmp/log
tzafrir@sweetmorn:~$ cat /tmp/log

tzafrir@sweetmorn:~$ exit

Script done on IDT 16:35:32 2009 מאי 20 ד'
