Add indicator that the terminal is being transmitted

[vitorbaptista]

A suggestion I've found in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6191266 was to add a red recording sign. To do so, we could use:

RECORDING="`printf '\033[1;31m\342\227\217\033[0m '`"
export PS1="$RECORDING $PS1"

The problem is: how to pass this through script?

What do you mean by "how to pass this through script"?

When we run script, it forks a shell process. How do we inject an environment variable in this new process? Not sure if it's possible...
