[ale] sometimes I hate bash

[wolf at wolfhalton.info]

If it hadn't worked, I was going to suggest making a python script for
it.

        Heh, it happens. I was not familiar with the script command
        until this
        email thread.
        
        script - make typescript of terminal session
        
        Seems nifty.
        
        
On retrospect, it strikes me a precursor to gnu screen's ability to
share a console output remotely. It is pretty cool.

as long as it's NOT used in cron :-)
