You could use the "script" command to save all shell session output to a file, in case it is needed.
That would probably be worse.. :)
Or you could get into the habit of appending "| tee /tmp/<uniquename>" each time you run a command you are likely to want to reuse output from.
What's the way to append that tee without having to type it every time? Something like PROMPT_COMMAND, I don't know, and then, making up an environment variable pointing to /tmp/<uniquename> would do the trick, right.. but how can I append the tee?
