Get the log and return the right value
Hi expert,

I'm a tester, I want to write a function with bash to collect log which the command I run. the log contains the "shell prompt--->
root@intel_5500_server:, and the last whole command in the shell ----> such as "cd /root/;ls |grep .sh"

to be clear it should be sommething like
Code:
root@intel_5500_server:~#cat my.log
root@intel_5500_server:~# cd /root/;ls |grep .sh
test.sh
test.sh~
vhost_libvirt.sh
vhost_libvirt.sh~
xx.sh

something like below I want a function like collect_log
Code:
#!/bin/bash
LOG=mylog
define a function named collect_log-------------->here
cd /root/;ls |grep .sh
collect_log 
lspci |grep 0000
collect_log

then I can get the log like
Code:
root@intel_5500_server:~#cat mylog
root@intel_5500_server:~# cd /root/;ls |grep .sh
test.sh
test.sh~
vhost_libvirt.sh
vhost_libvirt.sh~
xx.sh
root@intel_5500_server:~# lspci -nn |grep 05:00
05:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation 82571EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller [8086:105e] (rev 06)
05:00.1 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation 82571EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller [8086:105e] (rev 06)

1)I don't how to get "root@intel_5500_server:~#"
2)I don't know how to get "cd /root/;ls |grep .sh"

can some one help me, Is it possible to make it as a function

How about:-
Code:
{
 set -v
 cd /root/;ls |grep .sh 
 lspci |grep 0000
} > collect_log

Or you can use script command to make typescript of terminal session.

I don't see "root@intel_5500_server:~#" and the command which run in the log it doesn't match what I want

Did you try using script command? It will record everything printed on your screen including your shell prompt.
