  ko.  on a similar note.  I sometimes 'telnet/rsh/ssh' elsewhere and
  usually like to record what I'm doing (like seeing where what mistake/typo
  I did).  I use the /usr/bin/script[0] command to do this:

   "Script makes a typescript of everything printed on your terminal."
      (quote from the man page).

  Now, I telnet/rsh/whatever to a range of different machines and have
  a _shell_ script to let me go to what ever one in the particular fashion
  that I usually go to that machine, eg I may use telnet to go to machine A
  and ssh to machine B.  My script holds that info, giving me some more
  brain space.  The script issues these as a '-e' option to the
  xterm/gnome-terminal/rxvt/...

  These xterm/gnome-terminal/rxvt/... don't have a 'record session' feature,
  (read old x86free discussions on this, security concerns).  I'd like to
  use script to record the stuff.  Grand.  So far.

  You'd think that 'xterm -e scriptit.sh $gotohost', where scriptit.sh 
  is a shell script with just the script and telnet commands init.

  Thing is script forks off to record the session, so:

--begin scriptit.sh
#!/bin/sh
script
telnet $1
--end

  would not work.  Any ideas ?

[0] its an executable, not a shell script. It just happens to be called script!
