scriptlive – re-run session typescripts, using timing information
Synopsis
scriptlive [options] [-t] timingfile [-I|-B] typescriptDescription
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
