Log session output and input

To store the entire contents of a session in a file, we recommend using the bash command script which is preinstalled on your vlun. To log the entire contents of a session:

script /var/log/python_interactive

Complete your interactive session as normal

Start session with sb_python and end with exit()

At the conclusion of your session, to turn off the console log use the following command:

exit

A confirmation message will be printed:

Script done, file is /var/log/python_interactive
