To my amazement, I found that at least bash in sh mode works pretty well interactively even with the redirection to tee. Maybe you don't have to put your commands in a file after all.
Hi era,


Noted with thanks.


script command solves my problem.

$ script /path/to/output.txt

$ run other commands

$ exit
save all output including commands on the file.

$ script -a /path/to/output.txt
resume script and continue adding output on the file.


Thanks

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
