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-runs  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  a newly created pseudoterminal with the
17       user's $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              Aliased to -t, maintained for compatibility with script(1)  com‐
42              mand-line options.
43
44       -d, --divisor number
45              Speed  up the replay displaying this number of times.  The argu‐
46              ment is a floating-point number.  It's called divisor because it
47              divides  the timings by this factor.  This option overrides old-
48              style arguments.
49
50       -m, --maxdelay number
51              Set the maximum delay between updates to number of seconds.  The
52              argument  is a floating-point number.  This can be used to avoid
53              long pauses in the typescript replay.
54
55       -V, --version
56              Display version information and exit.
57
58       -h, --help
59              Display help text and exit.
