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.
