Why don't you use the command "script"?
If I understand your question you need a trascript of a command
and script -a - c <command you need> $HOME/progress/progress.txt should do the trick.
By the way script is useful into interactive mode too.

Here's a one-liner (excluding the shell-bang line) for your enjoyment. :-) The main thing is the use of "$*", which joins all arguments into a single string. The use of printf means you don't have to use "echo -e", which can help readability.

#!/bin/bash printf '%s\t%s\n' "$(date)" "$*" >> ~/progress/progress.txt
I wanted to store things I was learning into a simple text file. For example, if the command was called ilearned, you could say 'ilearned working on a bash script' and it would store that info. I'm brand new at this...
