Dan> I there any way to save a telnet session in a file ? It's dreadfully easy. I entered "telnet | tee /tmp/telnet" with this happy result: telnet> Trying 192.26.61.22... Connected to saffron.wpd.sgi.com. Escape character is '^]'. IRIX System V.3 (saffron) You'll note a couple of things: Even though I entered my password during the session, it didn't show up in the log file. This is a good thing! All the control characters, the backspaces and line feeds, show up in the log file. It's ugly, but you can always edit it later if you must. Aaron

How interesting! My posting was mostly unprinted lines because of all of those funky control characters in my telnet log file. I hand edited the file, replacing <control-M> with <carat><M>, and <control-H> with <carat><H>, so that news would take it, and here it is: telnet | tee /tmp/telnet telnet> Trying 192.26.61.22...

I was also advised to try the script command, but that does not appear to be functional on sgi telnet. The set tracefile <filename> also does not work. It leaves a zero length file but no traces in the file. I will use your way, which is also clearly a hack (but a nice clever one). I hope that the boys at sgi are listening and can do something. dan. . +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | karron@nyu.edu Dan Karron | | . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Oh. I thought script was a facility in telnet. I see that you mean that script is a csh shell facility. Yep, that works, but apparently only if you are using full duplex mode, as you will not see your input, only what is echoed. I would like to see my input too, even if it is not echoed. That is for exotic editors on other systems that do all sorts of things with a few user keystrokes. Thanks for your response. dan(who never reads the script anyway) +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | karron@nyu.edu Dan Karron | | . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
