Re: Orca orca on ubuntu

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi Tamas:

You can use the "script" command to record a terminal session.  To do
this, you type "script" and press return, which brings you back to the
command prompt:

wwalker wwalker-laptop:~$ script
Script started, file is typescript
wwalker wwalker-laptop:~$ 

You then do whatever it is you want to do from the command prompt (e.g.,
start orca), and then you can press Ctrl+D to exit the script session:

wwalker wwalker-laptop:~$ ^D Script done, file is typescript
wwalker wwalker-laptop:~$

The file, "typescript", will now contain what passed through your
terminal from the point you typed "script".

Hope this makes sense, and I look forward to seeing the data.

Thanks!

Will
