Only you can answer. ;-) The question is: what is your needs? Do you
need to record and track the output for each command?
Personally, I only do that for the very rare cases when I am demoing.
Otherwise, I only redirect the output of a command to a file using ’>’.

Yes.

No.
However, you can redo the same command to append the output to a
previous ’typescript’. For instance, in your terminal:
ls
script
ls
exit
pwd
script -a
cd /tmp/
ls
pwd
exit
Then the file ’typescript’ contains the session (input and output)
between ’script’ and ’exit’ (included). Therefore, the first ’pwd’ will
be not recorded.

Well, have you read the manpage of ’script’? Type ’man script’.
Hope that helps,
