The script command typecasts the terminal activity to a particular file. I understood that part, but is there a way it can be made to append to an existing file?
The end goal for me is to make the script
append the data to an existing file with a timestamp that is achieved by the date
command. And ultimately have a launcher that pre-executes this upon its launch and I have a logfile of every output on my terminal. I think I have the puzzle solved except for making the script command append.
As the man pages says, the
-a
option is for appendIf file is missing, the default
typescript
filename is used.
