NAME
scriptlive - re-run session typescripts, using timing information
SYNOPSIS
scriptlive [options] timingfile 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 usercqs $SHELL (or defaults to /bin/bash).
Be careful! The typescript may contain 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 with scriptlive.
The timing information is what script(1) outputs to the file specified by
--log-timing. The typescript has to contain stdin information, and is what
script(1) outputs to the 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.
-E, --echo when
-
This option controls the ECHO flag for the slave end of the sessioncqs
pseudoterminal. The supported modes are always, never, and auto.
The default is auto - in which case ECHO is enabled. This default
behavior is subject to change.
-t, --timing file
-
File containing script's timing output.
This option replaces the timingfile positional argument.
-T, --log-timing file
-
An alias for -t; maintained for compatibility with the script(1)
command-line options.
-d, --divisor number
-
Speed up the replay displaying this number of times. The argument is a floating-point number. Itcqs 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
-
Display 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
