How to Record Everything You Do in Terminal

• myhau 7y ago
  With iTerm there is also an alternative approach. You can enable 'Automatically log session input to files' in Preferences -> Profiles -> Session

  On macOS and BSD at least (I haven't checked GNU), you can make a replayable script. Record with script -r [filename] and then play back with script -p [filename] which creates a pretty cool effect.

    Add timings. See also scriptreplay(1): http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/scriptreplay.1.html http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/scriptreplay.1.html

  For more utility, enable (and save) timings using the '-t' or '--timings <file>' option. You can then replay the session, in realtime, or with some multiplier (slower or faster), using scriptreplay(1). An advantage is that full-screen utilities will be fully captured. I've used this technique, and serial connections (zmodem, minicom, serial-over-ethernet, many ILOM/IPMI/BMC systems) to record full system installs, starting at BIOS prompts and configuration utilities. Replaying the session through the phosphor(6x) screensaver can be entertaining. http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/script.1.html http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/script.1.html http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/scriptreplay.1.html http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/scriptreplay.1.html http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/man6/phosphor.6x.html http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/man6/phosphor.6x....
