[Gllug] Monitoring a user session

from the script man page:

    -f      Flush output after each write. This is nice for telecooperation:
             One person does ‘mkfifo foo; script -f foo’ and another can
             supervise real-time what is being done using ‘cat foo’.

the person reading the pipe ( presumably you ) would need to tee the pipe.

But it feels a bit clunky.
