scriptlive [options] timingfile typescript_

scriptlive re-executes a terminal session that was previously recorded by the script command. Unlike scriptreplay which only displays recorded output passively, scriptlive actually runs the commands in a live shell, reproducing the session's actions with their real effects.
The tool uses timing data to pace command execution, matching the original session's rhythm. Speed can be adjusted with the --divisor option for faster or slower execution, and --maxdelay caps the wait between commands to skip long pauses. This is useful for automated demonstrations, reproducing test scenarios, and recreating specific terminal workflows.

--divisor n

Speed multiplier (2 = double speed)

Use stdin log file for input

Maximum wait between commands

Commands are actually executed, which may have side effects. Use with caution on recordings from untrusted sources.

Part of util-linux package, extending script's recording capabilities with live execution.
