SCRIPT(1) System General Commands Manual SCRIPT(1)

NAME
     script - make typescript of terminal session

SYNOPSIS
     script [-a] [-f] [-q] [file]

DESCRIPTION
     Script makes a typescript of everything printed on your terminal. It is

     useful for students who need a hardcopy record of an interactive session

     as proof of an assignment, as the typescript file can be printed out
     later with lpr(1).

     If the argument file is given, script saves all dialogue in file.  If 
no
     file name is given, the typescript is saved in the file typescript.

     Options:



     -a      Append the output to file or typescript, retaining the prior 

con­
             tents.



     -f      Flush output after each write. This is nice for 

telecooperation:
             One person does `mkfifo foo; script -f foo' and another can
             supervise real-time what is being done using `cat foo'.



     -q      Be quiet.


     The script ends when the forked shell exits (a control-D to exit the
     Bourne shell (sh(1)), and exit, logout or control-d (if ignoreeof is 
not
     set) for the C-shell, csh(1)).

     Certain interactive commands, such as vi(1), create garbage in the 
type­
     script file.  Script works best with commands that do not manipulate 
the
     screen, the results are meant to emulate a hardcopy terminal.

ENVIRONMENT
     The following environment variable is utilized by script:

     SHELL  If the variable SHELL exists, the shell forked by script will 
be
            that shell. If SHELL is not set, the Bourne shell is assumed.
            (Most shells set this variable automatically).

SEE ALSO
     csh(1) (for the history mechanism).

HISTORY
     The script command appeared in 3.0BSD.

BUGS
     Script places everything in the log file, including linefeeds and
     backspaces.  This is not what the naive user expects.

If you're on Unix, you can use the Unix SCRIPT command to write the terminal output to a file.

Ok i've been thru all of the 817 docs multiple times, searched metalstink, read the chapters in backup/recovery 101 multiple times.  

Where in the heck is the "spool" command for rman?  

Can i only spool stuff(and its an either to a file or to the screen, not both?) using the log parameter when starting rman.  

if I've started rman with out the log parm, there is no way to open a spool file?  

I'm currently stuck on 817 rman if that makes a difference.  

thanks, joe
