Um, yes, this is true. However, please remember that if you look back
at the original post, an instructor from Bentley was looking for a
utility that would allow his students to complete a homework
assignment by capturing the output of some commands. I fail to see
how script is a violation of privacy when used in this manner.
If I was asked to write a C program, then run
./a.out 3
./a.out 4
./a.out 5
and capture the output as part of my homework submission, script would
seem ideal.
