'script' command in terminal, looking for a flush open

When I use 'script' on a unix terminal the -f option flushes the data straight to the file - from the 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 usingcat foo'."

This is a really handy option for me - but the version of the script command on my mac appears to be lacking this option. Are there any ways I can achieve the functionality?

Solution 1:

You can achieve more or less the same result by running

script -t 0

From the man page:

-t time  Specify time interval between flushing script output file.
         A value of 0 causes script to flush for every
         character I/O event.  The default interval is 30 seconds.
