I'm guessing from what you are saying that what you are trying to do is
to have a user's login shell record all input and output right? If so,
all you have to do is to have the startup script exec the script
program, taking care to pass the -l option to the shell so it gets
treated as a login shell. In other words, a new shell does get executed,
but because you used the exec command the old one is completely replaced
by it. You want to be careful though so you don't acceidentally end up
creating a situation where the script program gets executed an infinite
number of times. There are a couple of options for this, immediately
files and environment variables come to mind.

Anyone have any more ideas I may not be thinking of? It would be fairly
interesting if I actually got this working. Thanks!
