NAME
scriptlive - re-run session typescripts, using timing information
SYNOPSIS
scriptlive [options] timingfiletypescript
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! The typescript may contain 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 with scriptlive.
The timing information is what script(1) outputs to the file specified by --log-timing. The typescript has to contain stdin information, and is what script(1) outputs to the file specified by --log-in or --log-io.
OPTIONS
-I, --log-infile
-B, --log-iofile
-E, --echowhen
The default is auto — in which case ECHO is enabled. This default behavior is subject to change.
-t, --timingfile
-T, --log-timingfile
-d, --divisornumber
-m, --maxdelaynumber
-h, --help
-V, --version
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.inAUTHORS
