SCRIPTLIVE(1) User Commands SCRIPTLIVE(1)
NAME
scriptlive - re-run session typescripts, using timing information
SYNOPSIS
scriptlive [options] [-t] timingfile [-I|-B] typescript
DESCRIPTION
This program re-runs a typescript, using stdin typescript and timing
information to ensure that input happens in the same rhythm as it
originally appeared when the script was recorded.
The session is executed in a newly created pseudoterminal with the
user’s $SHELL (or defaults to /bin/bash).
Be careful! Do not forget that the typescript may contains arbitrary
commands. It is recommended to use "scriptreplay --stream in --log-in
typescript" (or with --log-io instead of --log-in) to verify the
typescript before it is executed by scriptlive.
The timing information is what script(1) outputs to file specified by
--log-timing. The typescript has to contain stdin information and it is
what script1 outputs to file specified by --log-in or --log-io.
OPTIONS
-I, --log-in file
File containing script's terminal input.
-B, --log-io file
File containing script's terminal output and input.
-t, --timing file
File containing script's timing output. This option overrides
old-style arguments.
-T, --log-timing file
Aliased to -t, maintained for compatibility with script(1)
command-line options.
-d, --divisor number
Speed up the replay displaying this number of times. The argument
is a floating-point number. It’s called divisor because it divides
the timings by this factor. This option overrides old-style
arguments.
-m, --maxdelay number
Set the maximum delay between updates to number of seconds. The
argument is a floating-point number. This can be used to avoid long
pauses in the typescript replay.
-h, --help
Display help text and exit.
-V, --version
Print version and exit.
EXAMPLES
% script --log-timing file.tm --log-in script.in
Script started, file is script.out
% date
<etc, etc>
% exit
Script done, file is script.out
% scriptlive --log-timing file.tm --log-in script.in
