Capturing notes and activities

Using the script command

To capture output to a file:

# Start logging immediately
script output.txt
# Your commands here
# Exit logging with: exit

# Or append to existing file
script -a output.txt

Using the tee command

The tee command is useful for duplicating output to both a file and standard output:

# Redirect output to file and display on screen
command | tee output.txt

# Append to file and display on screen
command | tee -a output.txt
