Linux Shell Scripting Cookbook - Third Edition

Getting ready

The script and scriptreplay commands are available in most GNU/Linux distributions. You can create tutorials of command-line hacks and tricks by recording the terminal sessions. You can also share the recorded files for others to playback and see how to perform a particular task with the command line. You can even invoke other interpreters and record the keystrokes sent to that interpreter. You cannot record vi, emacs, or other applications that map characters to particular locations on the screen.
