Epic. I am no expert regarding what would be good for "script" command, 
but I love the ideas you share here. They extend the possibilities of 
what can be done with the command quite a bit.

Seems finally time to include the script command somewhere in my Linux 
training slides. Like "watch", which I often show to participants I 
still have no slide for it. About time, I'd say.

THanks,
