script
is an open source tool that makes a typescript of everything displayed on your terminal. It is useful for students who need a hardcopy record of an interactive session as proof of an assignment, as the typescript file can be printed out later with lpr.
Everything between the script and the exit command is logged to the file. This includes the confirmation messages from script itself (unless the -q flag is used). Everything between the script and the exit command is logged to the file. This includes the confirmation messages from script itself.
Recorded shell sessions can be shared using online services. The advantage of sessions recorded in this format from the usual screencasts is that shell instructions can be easily copy/pasted from the player screen.
Useful command:
script --timing=time.txt script.log
and to replay
scriptreplay --timing=time.txt script.log
See also the nice -d
(divisor, speeds up playback) and -m
(max delay in playback) options for replay.

Recording a terminal session may be important in helping someone learn a process, sharing information in an understandable way, and also presenting a series of commands in a proper manner. Whatever the purpose, there are many times when copy-pasting text from the terminal won't be very helpful while capturing a video of the process is quite far-fetched and may not be always possible. In this quick guide, we will take a look at the easiest way to record and share a terminal session in .gif format.
In this guide, we will discuss how to use the netcat utility. Often referred to as a Swiss army knife of networking tools, this versatile command can assist you in monitoring, testing, and sending data across network connections.
