Record a Terminal Session	vision share

Record a terminal command, then press 'Control + d' to exit.

script --timing=time.log stat.txt
ls -a
ls -al
stat ~/.bashrc
^D

Replay the session:

scriptreplay --timing=time.log stat.txt

Try a bare command, without any timing:

script -c 'top | lolcat' loltop
nl loltop

Has your terminal messed up? Is the cursor hiding? Reset it!

reset

If you can't see any keys, keep typing anyway: have faith in your terminal.

This loltop file will not play properly as it has no timings file. But you can cheat the system and use your other timings file:

scriptreplay --timing=time.log loltop

This will mostly not work well, but it shows how the timing file works:

I think it works like this?
