SCRIPTLIVE(1) User Commands SCRIPTLIVE(1)

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 script1 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
File containing script's terminal input.

-B, --log-io file
File containing script's terminal output and input.

-t, --timing file
File containing script's timing output. This option overrides old-style arguments.

-T, --log-timing file
Aliased to -t, maintained for compatibility with script(1) command-line options.

-d, --divisor number
Speed up the replay displaying this number of times. The argument is a floating-point
number. It's 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.

-V, --version
Display version information and exit.

-h, --help
Display help text 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
