How to Create a Linux Screen Capture

To save your session to a text file at a linux prompt type:

# script mysession

Perform the operations that you wish to have captured, taking particular care to avoid typing errors. Then type:

# exit

This will dump you back into the session where you started script from. To see your session, just type:

# less mysession

Check for obvious errors and control characters. You can edit your file to remove "ESC" blocks and "^M" blocks if you need to. For more information use

# man script
