Author Source for "script" program
Lorin Hochstein

2005-12-20, 2:50 am

Hello,

I'm looking for the source code for an implementation of the Unix
"script" program (the one that generates a record of a terminal
session). It exists on Linux so I imagine there's an open source
implementation somewhere. Alas, "script" is not a very
Internet-search-friendly name for a program, and I've had no success in
trying to track it down. Anybody know where I can find this?

Thanks,

Lorin

I googled for
source code "script program" record of a terminal session
and found http://honeypots.sourceforge.net/modified_script.html

The original source code seems to be available at
http://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/kernel...ux-2.11n.tar.gz

"script --version" on one Linux system prints
script from util-linux-2.12a
That might be a better search term.

It is part of util-linux (a package which unfortunately isn't very
friendly to attempts to compile it on non-linux systems) - a version is
also supplied with freebsd - what system are you on?

The program needs to run on a variety of UNIX-y systems: Linux,
Solaris, AIX, and UNICOS. Perhaps I should look into the freebsd
flavor, although I'll start by taking a look at the Linux version.
Also, somebody upthread posted a link to another program I'll take a
look at.

Thanks.

(First time using google groups to respond to a message, hope it does
the quoting properly).

The linux version is minimal, and has a BSD-ish copyright notice anyway,
so is derived from the same source. Looking at a diff of the two, the
freebsd version seems more advanced.

It doesn't. See <http://cfaj.freeshell.org/google/> for details.
