re: logging console input

Yes. and no. a fork or Tee would be nice.
Someone suggested to use script.
but I would prefer to bounce around consoles and xconsoles.
and trap and journal all input.

John T. Williams reponds:

Am I right in saying that what you want is a key logger, which logs
all key strokes regardless of which terminal they are inputted to.

In fact a program that sits between the kernels main keyboard buffer
and user land programs, logging all input before any user land program
can remove them from the main input buffer?
