To record screen output using "script" command
I am trying to capture the session of a particular user id, by using the "script" command, by adding the "script" command to the .profile of that user id. Now, when I have to exit the session, I am having to give 2 exits - one for the script command, and the other to log out of the session. Is there a way to incorporate this "exit" of script command in the .profile itself? Can anyone please help me.
