SCRIPTLIVE(1)                 User Commands                SCRIPTLIVE(1)

NAME         top

       scriptlive - re-run session typescripts, using timing information

SYNOPSIS         top

       scriptlive [options] [-t] timingfile [-I|-B] typescript

DESCRIPTION         top

       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(1).

       The timing information is what script(1) outputs to file
       specified by --log-timing.  The typescript has to contain stdin
       information and it is what script(1) outputs to file specified by
       --log-in or --log-io.

OPTIONS         top

       -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         top

       % 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
