SUDOREPLAY(8)		FreeBSD	System Manager's Manual		 SUDOREPLAY(8)

NAME
     sudoreplay	-- replay sudo session logs

SYNOPSIS
     sudoreplay	[-FhnRS] [-d dir] [-f filter] [-m num] [-s num]	ID

     sudoreplay	[-h] [-d dir] -l [search expression]

DESCRIPTION
     sudoreplay	plays back or lists the	output logs created by sudo.  When re-
     playing, sudoreplay can play the session back in real-time, or the	play-
     back 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, a pattern matching the iolog_file option in	the
     sudoers file, or a	path name.  Path names may be relative to the
     iolog_dir option in the sudoers file (unless overridden by	the -d option)
     or	fully qualified, beginning with	a `/' character.  When a command is
     run via sudo with log_output enabled in the sudoers file, a TSID=ID
     string is logged via syslog 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 ter-
     minal and the -n option is	not specified, sudoreplay will operate inter-
     actively.	In interactive mode, sudoreplay	will attempt to	adjust the
     terminal size to match that of the	session	and write directly to the ter-
     minal (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 fin-
     ished, 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	con-
		 sidered to be complete	when the write bits have been cleared
		 on the	session's timing file.	Note that 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
		 available sessions in a format	similar	to the sudo log	file
		 format, sorted	by file	name (or sequence number).  If a
		 search	expression is specified, it will be used to restrict
		 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
			 specified 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
			 specified runas_group.	 Note that 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 spec-
			 ified hostname.

		 runas runas_user
			 Evaluates to true if the command was run as the spec-
			 ified runas_user.  Note that sudo runs	commands as
			 user root by default.

		 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 spec-
			 ified terminal	device.	 The tty name should be	speci-
			 fied 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 (note that parentheses must gen-
		 erally	be escaped from	the shell).  The and operator is op-
		 tional, adjacent predicates have an implied and unless	sepa-
		 rated 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 accu-
		 rately	reproduce the delays between key presses or program
		 output.  However, this	can be tedious when the	session	in-
		 cludes	long pauses.  When the -m option is specified,
		 sudoreplay will limit these pauses to at most max_wait	sec-
		 onds.	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
		 suspended and when it was resumed.  If	the -S option is spec-
		 ified,	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 include:

     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.	Note that 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 optional.
     If	no date	is specified, the current day is assumed; if no	time is	speci-
     fied, the first second of the specified date is used.  The	less signifi-
     cant 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.

     Note that relative	time specifications do not always work as expected.
     For example, 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.
