Log linux telnet sessions
So I was doing some research on how to turn on logging for a telnet session on a linux box and I found this article. Basically it suggests that the user look into the script command.
I read the man page and found that script is actually pretty badass. Rather than building logging into your telnet application, why not build a wrapper that you can use with any program? That's what script is. Just run the command tell it where to output the data.
script -c "telnet myhost.domain.com" /tmp/output.logReplies
Thanks for posting this info. I knew nothing of script and it is exactly what I needed. I am a software engineer having done mostly embedded software til now. I needed a way to log a telnet session for talking to one of our devices which had a telnet server that reports commands of a proprietary protocol. I tried the -n option of telnet and I still do not know what this option accomplishes. The script commands works perfectly. Thanks again!
Thank you for this valueable tip!
