Logging Command Line and Output in Unix

Hi,

This might be a bit stupid question, but what command to use to create like a session which logs the command line, and output on to the screen?

Basically, a log to a file, where I can review what I had install, uninstall, etc.


Thank you

NAME
xfce4-session-logout - Logs out from Xfce SYNOPSIS
xfce4-session-logout DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the xfce4-session-logout command. The xfce4-session-logout command allows you to programmatically logout from your Xfce session. It requests the session manager to display the logout confirmation screen, or, if given one of the command-line options below, causes the session manager to take the requested action immediately. OPTIONS
xfce4-session-logout takes the following command line options: --logout Log out without displaying the logout dialog. --halt Halt without displaing the logout dialog. --reboot Reboot without displaying the logout dialog. --suspend Suspend without displaying the logout dialog. --hibernate Hibernate without displaying the logout dialog. --fast Do a fast shutdown. This instructs the session manager not to save the session, but instead to quit everything quickly. --help Print a help screen and exit. --version Output version information and exit. AUTHOR
