NAME

6       scriptlive - re-run session typescripts, using timing information
7

SYNOPSIS

9       scriptlive [options] [-t] timingfile [-I|-B] typescript
10

DESCRIPTION

12       This  program  re-run  a  typescript, using stdin typescript and timing
13       information to ensure that input happens in the same rhythm as it orig‐
14       inally appeared when the script was recorded.
15
16       The  session  is  executed in newly created pseudo terminal with user's
17       $SHELL (or defaults to /bin/bash).
18
19       Be careful!  Do not forget that the typescript may  contains  arbitrary
20       commands.   It is recommended to use "scriptreplay --stream in --log-in
21       typescript" (or with --log-io instead of --log-in) to verify the  type‐
22       script before it is executed by scriptlive(1).
23
24       The  timing  information is what script(1) outputs to file specified by
25       --log-timing.  The typescript has to contain stdin information  and  it
26       is what script(1) outputs to file specified by --log-in or --log-io.

OPTIONS

30       -I, --log-in file
31              File containing script's terminal input.
32
33       -B, --log-io file
34              File containing script's terminal output and input.
35
36       -t, --timing file
37              File  containing  script's timing output.  This option overrides
38              old-style arguments.
39
40       -T, --log-timing file
41              aliast to -t, maintained for compatibility with script (1)  com‐
42              mand  line  options.   -d,  --divisor number Speed up the replay
43              displaying this number of times.  The  argument  is  a  floating
44              point  number.   It's called divisor because it divides the tim‐
45              ings by this factor.  This option overrides old-style arguments.
46
47       -m, --maxdelay number
48              Set the maximum delay between transcript updates  to  number  of
49              seconds.   The argument is a floating point number.  This can be
50              used to avoid long pauses in the transcript replay.
51
52       -V, --version
53              Display version information and exit.
54
55       -h, --help
56              Display help text and exit.
