It uses EOF to emulate on the internal terminal how pipes work for
example:
echo "ps" | script
We must send to the shell "ps" string and EOF and then *wait* for the
shell to exit correctly. If we send SIGTERM without EOF and without
waiting for shell termination, we will probably lose some output from
the shell. It's because script(1) is faster than shell.
But I can imagine that in some cases is this way unnecessary and just
send a signal is good enough.
So, add a new option to skip EOF and leave the main loop in
ul_pty_proxy_master() and sending SIGTERM to the child may be a good idea.
Send patch ;-)
BTW, it would be nice to have the log from:
SCRIPT_DEBUG=all script 2> log
to see your session in details.
