The command script(1), which appears to be available in Berkeley Unix but not AT&T System V, spawns a subshell. A transcript of all input and output for the terminal session with the subshell is saved in a file. The file has zero length while the subshell is active, and the complete transcript is written to the file when the subshell terminates. Is there any way to access a partial transcript from a different terminal or process while the spawned subshell is still active? I have tinkered with pipes, tees, direct references to /dev/tty, redirections of named descriptors, and the like, in both Bourne Shell and C-Shell, but don't have it quite right. I get incomplete transcripts, broken pipes and other errors. Can someone help? David Ellis / DEC, Littleton MA / 617-486-6784 ...decvax!ultra::ellis ...decwrl!rhea!ultra!ellis
