I had a similar problem some time back.
Someone pointed me to a utility that saved everything sent to a
console window.
It was not "redirection" nor a "pipe" as the console retained all
its functionality.
The procedure was:
start the utility in the console specifying a destination file
run arbitrary number of commands
[the utility recording input keystrokes and resulting output]
terminate the utility
close console if desired
I understand the typical use of the utility is in a classroom
situation where instructor needs to see exactly what the student
did. I know I saved the message but I can't come up with keywords to
retrieve it.
That sounds like the "script" command - it's in the bsdutils package
which should be installed by default.
