[arch-general] Impossible redirect console buffer to log

[Chris Billington]

The 'flush' option could help with that:
[bilbo:~]$ script -h | grep flush
 -f, --flush                   run flush after each write

So, something like

script -f -c '/usr/local/bin/cccam -d' mylogfile.log

I would want to get to the bottom of why this binary does not play well
with normal tools, but if you just need things working, it looks like you
might have something workable with 'script'.
