When I created my scripts, I didn't use it because script was expecting me to type something and record everything plus the output. All I wanted was the piped output captured and that was what tee was designed for. I also wanted the fastest buildworld I could create. I didn't want the capture process to be looking at the keyboard, since nothing was going to be typed there. There are times when I want the output of something like "time make buildworld" captured to the file and script would probably do that. I use a script called mkworld that is my make buildworld that I wanted all of the output and error messages captured. I think there are multiple ways of capturing a buildworld. What you used to do the capturing probably depends on what you thought was important when you created your script.
