Hi,
OK, great - glad to know you've got a working script now.
On the topic of your own script and the variables not working, I think it's because you've not actually defined the variable you're using.
You seem to have commented out tmp and defined temp instead, but unless you also changed every occurrence of $tmp in the script to $temp (or even better just don't bother defining temp at all and modify the tmp definition instead), then that wouldn't actually work, since you'd be trying to use an un-defined variable.
---------- Post updated at 02:49 PM ---------- Previous update was at 02:45 PM ----------
Also just noticed: you wouldn't want to write:
tmp=`/tmp/script.tmp`
That's using backticks, so again would try to run an external binary or script called /tmp/script.tmp which almost certainly does not exist.
Instead, you don't want backticks here, and just a simple:
tmp=/tmp/script.tmp
will suffice.

NAME
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.
ATTRIBUTES

WARNINGS
script can pose a security risk when used in directories that are writable by other users (for example, /tmp), especially when run by a
privileged user, that is, root. Be sure that typescript is not a link before running script.
