No, it is a UNIX command, which appeared in BSD 3.0. It spawns your $SHELL and makes a typescript of everything printed to the terminal, including backspaces, terminal control sequences and such. See 'man script'. The script(1) command's STDERR can be directed to a file to record the timing of all that appears on the terminal. Of course, anything typed while the terminal is in '-echo' mode won't appear (e.g. passwords). The script file and the timing file can be used to replay the captured outout. Joey Hess wrote a public domain perl script called scriptreplay which does that.	[reply]

On Unix: `> script Script started, file is typescript > ls -ld /typo^H^H^H^Hetc drwxr-xr-x 117 root root 12288 2009-04-13 16:22 /etc > exit Script done, file is typescript` [download] and then `perl -pe 's/\e([^\[\]]\|\[.?[a-zA-Z]\|\].?\a)//g' typescript` filters the escape codes, and prints this out as-is: `Script started on Tue 14 Apr 2009 10:48:10 AM PDT > ls -ld /etc drwxr-xr-x 117 root root 12288 2009-04-13 16:22 /etc > exit Script done on Tue 14 Apr 2009 10:48:22 AM PDT` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
