[KDE] Konsole - Terminal - saved out of commands

[CharlieDaves]

Not to sure if this KDE or LINUX overall.
Q. Is there a file that stroes the OUTPUTS of commands executed within Terminal or Konsole?

Q. Is there a way (besides Grep output.txt) for all commands and their respective outputs to be automatically saved.

YES. I am aware of .bash_history in the /Home folder.
People have asked this, and from what I've read you cannot (in 2008 or 2016) read the command output of terminal/Konsole after it's closed. WHAT I have read is that you can turn this feature on.
As mentioned above. Not to sure if it's KDE or Linux, or Gnome...
TIA

You can "tee" your bash console to a file, thus saving all text from it. You can try using the "screen" command to do the same. You can try zsh instead of bash - it has more options and might include one to capture output.

tmux ... perhaps with a plugin such as tmux logging

Okay. Sounds good. Found the install software, now how do I make it "automatic"?? Please??

Sorry, it's a while since I used it. All I can suggest is man tmux (daunting, it's 3300 lines long), or one of the stack exchange forums, and work out the commands to log output the way you want, then put them in ~/.tmux.conf.

.bash_history is just a text file. It can be opened by any text editor.

Just looked at my .bash_history. It shows each INPUT command, and with almost every case there is no RESULTANT OUTPUT. So if I entered df -h in konsole, the df -h shows up in .bash_history but not the data that shows on the konsole screen from df -h.

Another solution I was thinking of.... I've set <Menu>+R to run Konsole. I could add a script file to add output to %DATE%TIME of all within Konsole.
Now my programming stills are a tad rusty.
Would someone please be kind enough to rough something together. I am more suited to problem solving than actual create a program. It's just the way my brain works.
thanks

Yeah! I knew this already. it's great at finding what commands you have used in the past. Just not what the output was or even WHEN the command was used.
It's a start. Thanks anyhow

The script command should be sufficient for Bash, see:
