UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users

hi

i am using borne shell script to install a product.
In the script i get from the user some input and then to do pkgadd and some sqlplus commands.

I want to capture all the information to the logfile.

if i use , tee command i dont get the user entered input.

can u let me know ,how to capture both the input and output to a log file.


thanks

You can try the script command - it won't save it if there is a gui interface but will work on patches and pkgadd. Check out man script.

I tried it,but could not use the script command inside the shell script.

script command does not wait till my install script exits.

thanks for ur reply

Don't put the script command inside a shell script. In your unix session, use it like this:

Code:

$ script myscript.txt
$ sqlplus ...
(whatever else you need to do ...)
Ctrl-D

script done on Tue Jan 15 08:39:31 2002
$

All input and output will go to myscript.txt.

as part of the installation i should take care of that.

so inside the shell script ,i should have a way of doing it.

so all the information redirects to a log file


thanks
