Im trying to create an alias that captures my terminal using script when im updating my packages.
scripttime() {
script --timing=${1-typescript}.time ${1-typescript}.log
}
alias update-n-log='scripttime ~/log/test/test.$(date +%d-%m-%YT%H-%M-%S); update_me'
This only runs the update_me command after the script recording is done. Can i automate script capture in an alias? I tried to google for it but the name script makes it hard to find anything relevant.
Short answer: script -c update_me seems to be what you are looking for, at the core. And it also seems like the alias is superfluous -- It can just be a single function:
update-n-log() {
FILENAME_BASE="~/log/test/test.$(date +%d-%m-%YT%H-%M-%S)-typescript"
script -c update_me --timing=${FILENAME_BASE}.time ${FILENAME_BASE}.log
}
P.S. Freebie Google tip -- Searching for "script terminal recording" (without the quotes) came up with some better hits, but I agree -- It's a rough name to search for.
Also don't forget to man script.
