log script input and output using tee ?
hi, new to to forum...
i've been trying to create a script in tcsh but i'm having a problem with one thing...

the script has to keep log of it's input and output so i'm using

tee -a log | script | tee -a log

this keeps the logs as asked, but it gives me an extra empty prompt (not in the log) after the script ends, anyone know how to get rid of it or maybe a better way to log ? (it has to be in tcsh)


thanks...
