Question

Which of the following is a valid option with script command?

(a) -b

(b) -a

(c) -d

(d) -x

The question was posed to me in class test.

I want to ask this question from General Purpose Commands in chapter The Unix Architecture & General Purpose Utilities of Unix

Answer 1

The correct answer is (b) -a

To elaborate: script command overwrites any previous typescript that may exist. -a option allows us to append our session to the existing typescript file without overwriting to it.

 For example,  script  -a

 We can also record our session to a different log file by using the following command.
