Hi all,
Am having some problems in running script to get a transcript of an apt-get upgrade.
The version of script on the Intel machine does not support the -c option so I have been doing this:
$ script
Script started, file is typescript
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo apt-get update
Hit http://mirror.pacific.net.au stable/main Packages
Hit http://mirror.pacific.net.au stable/main Release
Building Dependency Tree... Done
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ exit
Script done, file is typescript
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat typescript [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ exit Script done on Mon May 31 17:38:02 2004 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$
The typescript file is empty. So how does one use it? Do I have to do some redirect or something?
On my PowerPC box with the slightly later script I can just go $ script -c 'sudo apt-get -q upgrade'
and I get a nice file 'typescript' that contains the interactive session but the Intel version does not contain the -c command and there is no later candidate.
