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
14       originally 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
22       typescript before it is executed by scriptlive.
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 is
26       what script1 outputs to file specified by --log-in or --log-io.
27

OPTIONS

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

EXAMPLES

61           % script --log-timing file.tm --log-in script.in
62           Script started, file is script.out
63           % date
64           <etc, etc>
65           % exit
66           Script done, file is script.out
67           % scriptlive --log-timing file.tm --log-in script.in
