Capturing what comes accross the screen

["doug_dallmer" <doug_dallmer netzero net>]

I have set up RedHat 8.0, operate at init level 3 as root and now need to
restore from a cpio archive file.

The  " cpio -icdumv <archive_all " seems to work fine.   However, every once
in
a while I see the message about skipping 4096 bytes of bad data interspersed
with the list of path/file_names being created.

I need a way of capturing what is streaming across the screen during the
cpio command so that I can identify the files that may be corrupted.   I
have other cpio'd files of various parts of the complete restore so I can
probably extract good copies of the corrupted files from these (I hope).

I have tried  " cpio -icdumv <archive_all  tee list "  " cpio -icdumv
<archive_all
| list "  with no success.    Any suggestions??

In general I would also like to capture what goes across the screen and in
from the keyboard so that I could go back and review how I got to some place
(usually in trouble in "river city").
