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

-B, --log-io file

-t, --timing file

-T, --log-timing file

-d, --divisor number

-m, --maxdelay number

-h, --help

-V, --version

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
