Hi

I need to allow some people to have ocassional root shell access. I have got sudo installed so that they need not be given the root password and was planning to let them run a program which will run the script command logging their activity.

Unfortunately, the script command on AIX has the annoying feature that it displays to the screen the name of the logfile it is writing to at the start and the end

Does anyone have a program which will do what script does but without outputting the name of the file or an alternative method of logging a shell session

Hi,

Tried running the script with "2>/dev/null" ?
Possibly it it's a standard error that prompts.

"Long live king Moshiach !"
 
That won't do the trick. That would redirect all errors during the script session. I just need to get rid of the "logging to" messages
