SYNOPSIS

ttylog [-b|--baud] [-d|--device] [-f|--flush] [-t|--timeout] > /path/to/logfile

If you are not using the timeout option, you can stop it running by pressing a ctrl-c when it's going to the screen or doing "kill -HUP nnnn" (where nnnn is the process ID for ttylog) if running in the background.
