SUDOREPLAY(8) System Manager's Manual SUDOREPLAY(8) NAME sudoreplay -- replay sudo session logs SYNOPSIS sudoreplay [-FhnRS] [-d dir] [-f filter] [-m num] [-s num] ID[@offset] sudoreplay [-h] [-d dir] -l [search expression] DESCRIPTION sudoreplay plays back or lists the output logs created by sudo. When replaying, sudoreplay can play the session back in real-time, or the playback speed may be adjusted (faster or slower) based on the command line options. The ID should either be a six character sequence of digits and upper case letters, e.g., "0100A5" or a path name. The ID may include an op- tional @offset suffix which may be used to start replaying at a spe- cific time offset. The @offset is specified as a number in seconds since the start of the session with an optional decimal fraction. Path names may be relative to the I/O log directory /var/log/sudo-io (unless overridden by the -d option) or fully qualified, beginning with a `/' character. When a command is run via sudo with log_output en- abled in the sudoers file, a "TSID=ID" string is logged via syslog(3) or to the sudo log file. The ID may also be determined using sudoreplay's list mode. In list mode, sudoreplay can be used to find the ID of a session based on a number of criteria such as the user, tty, or command run. In replay mode, if the standard input and output are connected to a terminal and the -n option is not specified, sudoreplay will operate interactively. In interactive mode, sudoreplay will attempt to adjust the terminal size to match that of the session and write directly to the terminal (not all terminals support this). Additionally, it will poll the keyboard and act on the following keys: `\n' or `\r' Skip to the next replay event; useful for long pauses. ` ' (space) Pause output; press any key to resume. `<' Reduce the playback speed by one half. `>' Double the playback speed. The session can be interrupted via control-C. When the session has finished, the terminal is restored to its original size if it was changed during playback. The options are as follows: -d dir, --directory=dir Store session logs in dir instead of the default, /var/log/sudo-io. -f filter, --filter=filter Select which I/O type(s) to display. By default, sudoreplay will display the command's standard output, standard error, and tty output. The filter argument is a comma-separated list, consisting of one or more of following: stdin, stdout, stderr, ttyin, and ttyout. -F, --follow Enable "follow mode". When replaying a session, sudoreplay will ignore end-of-file and keep replaying until the log is complete. This can be used to replay a session that is still in progress, similar to "tail -f". An I/O log file is consid- ered to be complete when the write bits have been cleared on the session's timing file. Versions of sudo prior to 1.9.1 do not clear the write bits upon completion. -h, --help Display a short help message to the standard output and exit. -l, --list [search expression] Enable "list mode". In this mode, sudoreplay will list avail- able sessions in a format similar to the sudo log file format, sorted by file name (or sequence number). Any control charac- ters present in the log data are formatted in octal with a leading `#' character. For example, a horizontal tab is dis- played as `#011' and an embedded carriage return is displayed as `#015'. Space characters in the command name and arguments are also formatted in octal. If a search expression is specified, it will be used to re- strict the IDs that are displayed. An expression is composed of the following predicates: command pattern Evaluates to true if the command run matches the POSIX extended regular expression pattern. cwd directory Evaluates to true if the command was run with the spec- ified current working directory. fromdate date Evaluates to true if the command was run on or after date. See "Date and time format" for a description of supported date and time formats. group runas_group Evaluates to true if the command was run with the spec- ified runas_group. Unless a runas_group was explicitly specified when sudo was run this field will be empty in the log. host hostname Evaluates to true if the command was run on the speci- fied hostname. runas runas_user Evaluates to true if the command was run as the speci- fied runas_user. By default, sudo runs commands as the root user. todate date Evaluates to true if the command was run on or prior to date. See "Date and time format" for a description of supported date and time formats. tty tty name Evaluates to true if the command was run on the speci- fied terminal device. The tty name should be specified without the /dev/ prefix, e.g., tty01 instead of /dev/tty01. user user name Evaluates to true if the ID matches a command run by user name. Predicates may be abbreviated to the shortest unique string. Predicates may be combined using and, or, and ! operators as well as `(' and `)' grouping (parentheses must generally be es- caped from the shell). The and operator is optional, adjacent predicates have an implied and unless separated by an or. -m, --max-wait max_wait Specify an upper bound on how long to wait between key presses or output data. By default, sudoreplay will accurately repro- duce the delays between key presses or program output. How- ever, this can be tedious when the session includes long pauses. When the -m option is specified, sudoreplay will limit these pauses to at most max_wait seconds. The value may be specified as a floating point number, e.g., 2.5. A max_wait of zero or less will eliminate the pauses entirely. -n, --non-interactive Do not prompt for user input or attempt to re-size the termi- nal. The session is written to the standard output, not di- rectly to the user's terminal. -R, --no-resize Do not attempt to re-size the terminal to match the terminal size of the session. -S, --suspend-wait Wait while the command was suspended. By default, sudoreplay will ignore the time interval between when the command was sus- pended and when it was resumed. If the -S option is specified, sudoreplay will wait instead. -s, --speed speed_factor This option causes sudoreplay to adjust the number of seconds it will wait between key presses or program output. This can be used to slow down or speed up the display. For example, a speed_factor of 2 would make the output twice as fast whereas a speed_factor of .5 would make the output twice as slow. -V, --version Print the sudoreplay versions version number and exit. Date and time format The time and date may be specified multiple ways, common formats in- clude: HH:MM:SS am MM/DD/CCYY timezone 24 hour time may be used in place of am/pm. HH:MM:SS am Month, Day Year timezone 24 hour time may be used in place of am/pm, and month and day names may be abbreviated. Month and day of the week names must be specified in English. CCYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS ISO time format DD Month CCYY HH:MM:SS The month name may be abbreviated. Either time or date may be omitted, the am/pm and timezone are op- tional. If no date is specified, the current day is assumed; if no time is specified, the first second of the specified date is used. The less significant parts of both time and date may also be omitted, in which case zero is assumed. The following are all valid time and date specifications: now The current time and date. tomorrow Exactly one day from now. yesterday 24 hours ago. 2 hours ago 2 hours ago. next Friday The first second of the Friday in the next (upcoming) week. Not to be confused with "this Friday" which would match the Friday of the current week. last week The current time but 7 days ago. This is equivalent to "a week ago". a fortnight ago The current time but 14 days ago. 10:01 am 9/17/2009 10:01 am, September 17, 2009. 10:01 am 10:01 am on the current day. 10 10:00 am on the current day. 9/17/2009 00:00 am, September 17, 2009. 10:01 am Sep 17, 2009 10:01 am, September 17, 2009. Relative time specifications do not always work as expected. For exam- ple, the "next" qualifier is intended to be used in conjunction with a day such as "next Monday". When used with units of weeks, months, years, etc the result will be one more than expected. For example, "next week" will result in a time exactly two weeks from now, which is probably not what was intended. This will be addressed in a future version of sudoreplay. Debugging sudoreplay sudoreplay versions 1.8.4 and higher support a flexible debugging framework that is configured via Debug lines in the sudo.conf(5) file.
