Is there anyway to make a background service capture all the commands executed by a user and also save the output in a text file?

There is e.g. auditd which can monitor your system, but recoding the outputs of all commands is difficult. Why do you need this? See security.stackexchange.com/questions/4607/linux-command-logging

There's the script command to log a terminal session to a file.
