Xterm output to fileForum: Other Help Topics Topic: Xterm output to file started by: Juanito Posted by Juanito on Sep. 02 2006,07:52
It seems like the answer to this should be in the forums somewhere but I've just searched for 15 minutes without success...I would like to see all of the screen messages when using an xterm root box - how do I either increase the size of the screen buffer (so I can scroll back and look at the output) or output everything that appears on the screen to a file? Note that I tried -sl 1000 (to get a 1000 line buffer) but this didn't seem to work. Posted by mikshaw on Sep. 02 2006,14:52
The -sl option *should* work....not sure why it didn't.You can output everything from the active terminal using the script command:
Everything printed to the terminal after this will be saved to filename. Ctrl+d will end the script session. Posted by Juanito on Sep. 02 2006,15:39
That did the trick - thanks
