% script
Script started, output is typescript
% man cat
....
% exit
% more typescript

'script' is one of those wonderful commands which few people know about.

To see the processes running, turn on process accounting - 'man sa'

Sorry, for you I should say:

'gzcat /usr/share/man/man8/sa.8.gz | nroff -man | more'
