i have create a function in the .profile To get it work i log out and log in again . The function works fine, typing the name of the function"details" appears information for the system (who,time...)



The problem is when i start the script recording command the function does not really work
i don't know why does this
any help
??

What system are you running? Can you post a snippet or two of your code?

% cat .profile
details ()
{
date
echo My current directory is:
pwd
echo Users currently logged in
who
}


if this is what do you mean works fine

but whent i start the script command trying to record the function
and also its functionality tha function does not work

the whole thing is, i have to submit this to my tutor to see how i did it and if it works

props, this thread is really close to violating our rule against homework/classwork. But I will help you with this.

Your login shell reads your .profile and thus knows the function. The script command fires up a subshell and the subshell does not read your .profile. So as your first command after you run script, do this:
. .profile

Thank for the help works fine !!

just come down a bit with the " rules and regulations"
some people need help out there (don't be like my tutor")
