First grab the final 7.0 release:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ckermit.html
Then code your application as a kerbang script:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ckermit.html#studies
Don't enter CONNECT mode. Use LOG SESSION for recording and then INPUT to
wait for (a) the desired amount of time, (b) a string that should terminate
logging, or (c) forever. To log forever, use INPUT -1 XXXXX, where "XXXXX"
is a string that will never come.
