I begin most Unix sessions by starting the script command (#: script /tmp/upgrade). This permits recording my session commands and responses for documentation and troubleshooting, editting for a quick way to convert the file to an executable script,

and logging that other remote team members can "tail -f" to follow along and participate on a complex activity. The resulting file can also double to assist as a detailed change log when you need to know when and what was performed on the server.
