Capture all input and output from a bash script

Question

I am trying to capture all the input and output from a bash script that i created for installing nagios. I have it creating the log file using tee right now but it only shows when there is an echo command or some output from like "service httpd restart". I mainly want to capture the input the user is entering in the log file for future reference.

Answer 1

The script command, run prior to your program, will capture all input and output to a file you specify. It terminates with a ctrl-D.

script -c yourprogram filename

may do what you're looking for. See the man page for script.
