[CentOS] Screen capture in Terminal
I don't see how to do it. I had to telnet into a firewall and run a trace, and I had to stop it, copy and paste to gedit, then start again, etc. I find it interesting, and sad, that there is no easy 'output to file' profile setting. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I'm new on this list but I think this might help. If you start screen first, enable logging (default ^a H) then run telnet and your commands, it will create a screenlog.X (where X is the screen number) file.

But, usually with command line programs you would just redirect the individual command's output to a file with ' filename' on the command line, or pipe through tee '|tee filename' if you want to see it at the same time. Also, the terminal windows have a fairly big scroll-back buffer which you can increase with edit/profile so if you do decide to copy something after it happens you don't have to stop while it is still showing. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I use that a lot, but it doesn't work for telnet. Also, the terminal windows have a fairly big scroll-back buffer which you can increase with edit/profile so if you do decide to copy something after it happens you don't have to stop while it is still showing. This last case it was ~4000 lines worth, the default is 500. And I did not know it was that much until I started dealing with the debug dump. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Just do this though (this will work if you have a stock install and no custom .screenrc): 1) yum install screen # Install screen 2) screen # Start screen 3) Press Ctrl-a then H # This starts logging the current window (should be 0) 4) telnet firewall # Log in to your firewall 5) Ctrl-a H again # Run this once you're done on the firewall to close the log 6) exit # Exits screen 7) less screenlog.0 # View your screenlog. -- Never trust a computer you can't throw out a window. - Steve Wozniak ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
