The script command fails to wait for the command that it is executing to finish.
For example, the command
/usr/bin/script -c "sleep 1; echo foo" < /dev/null; echo bar
produces the output
Script started, file is typescript
Script done, file is typescript
bar
foo
It is the I/O redirection from /dev/null which is the culprit. Without
it the commands run in sequence correctly. With the /dev/null redirect,
it appears the subshell forked by 'script' runs in the background from
the parent shell.
