Hi, Is there any chance the script -q could be changed to not add " Script started on %s"? It would be a lot quieter and it would take only a simple
If (!qflg) fprintf(fscript, _("Script started on %s"), obuf); I would gladly make the change, but there may be political reasons not to change it. --The rest of this email is not necessarily a bug. It is at least a limitation that should be documented. I found a race condition occurs in script between the grandchild process actually executing the command (causing the signal to fire when done) and the assignment of the child pid as a result of the fork() call. Given a short lived program (I was testing with hostname), I called script -c hostname This can lock up if the signal handler executes before the fork() call assigns the value of the (grand)child pid to the variable child. If you call script in a loop, it is bound to occur within a couple of iterations. Thanks, Vladimir Giszpenc FYI I am looking at: /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/util-linux-2.13-pre6/misc-utils/script.c
