which would be done with command >> filename as I stated above, which appends the standard ouput result from the script (when executed at the terminal) into the specified file. Please note that the standard output of any command is not put into the history file, it is just a stream of data. And there is no "pasting", the data is just going to be added to a file.
There are a few different ways to capture what commands are invoked by a script. The easiest would be run the script in "xtrace" mode, as follows:
or by adding the "-x" option to the shebang line at the top of the script.

script - make record of a terminal session
SYNOPSIS
script [-a] [filename]
DESCRIPTION
The script utility makes a record of everything printed on your screen. The record is written to filename. If no file name is given, the
record is saved in the file typescript. See WARNINGS.
The script command forks and creates a sub-shell, according to the value of $SHELL, and records the text from this session. The script ends
when the forked shell exits or when Control-d is typed.
OPTIONS
The following option is supported:
-a Appends the session record to filename, rather than overwriting it.
NOTES
script places everything that appears on the screen in filename, including prompts.

privileged user, that is, root. Be sure that typescript is not a link before running script.
