pypty

pypty is a tty logger aimed at heavy script users who like to (or would like to start to) log everything they do on important systems. It creates one (or two, if you ask for timing data) file(s) per day. The distribution also includes "script-replay", which is somewhat like the traditional scriptreplay - that is, it's for replaying tty logs - but it does not require timing data and lets you step forward and back in the log.

Usage: ./pypty [file]
-a Append the output to file or typescript, retaining the prior contents
-c command
-f Flush output after each write.
-q Be quiet.
-d Use dated files.
-t Output timing data
In dated mode, using a .timing file.
In non-dated mode, use standard error.
--verbosity levelno
-v
--help

Examples:

$ ./pypty -d
