Hi Reboot,
for some reason when I use script (/usr/bin/script) in .bashrc, as soon as the user logs in the shell goes crazy (e.g. CPU 100%) and the output file - typescript in my case - becomes huge. Do you know why?
The command 'script' on a command line works just fine, it's the .bashrc that doesn't like it. I am using Debian Etch.
