A program which uses telnet: how to log its actions?
by dedec0 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4RDHH)
Hello,
i have a program which uses telnet connection, with an account i own, to login to a remote server and use things there. I want to log every command this program does in this telnet session, together with the eventual arguments. If the responses can be logged too (even if in separate file(s)), it would be great.
I tried wireshark, but the output it gives is too raw - at least for me. Besides, its 99% pure white interface, in contrast with my much darker desktop, is horrible to keep looking for too much time - suggestions of alternatives??; terminal programs would be great.
I found an old thread that talks about my system logs. If they can be useful, please point that too.
