SUDOREPLAY(8)		     MAINTENANCE COMMANDS		 SUDOREPLAY(8)

NAME
       sudoreplay - replay sudo session logs

SYNOPSIS
       sudoreplay [-d directory] [-f filter] [-m max_wait] [-s speed_factor]
       ID

       sudoreplay [-d directory] -l [search expression]

DESCRIPTION
       sudoreplay plays back or lists the session 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 be a six character sequence of digits and
       upper case letters, e.g.	 0100A5, which is logged by sudo when a
       command is run with session logging enabled.

       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 output has not been redirected,
       sudoreplay will act on the following keys:

       ' ' (space)
	       Pause output; press any key to resume.

       '<'     Reduce the playback speed by one half.

       '>'     Double the playback speed.

OPTIONS
       sudoreplay accepts the following command line options:

       -d directory
		   Use directory to for the session logs instead of the
		   default, /var/log/sudo-io.

       -f filter   By default, sudoreplay will play back the command's
		   standard output, standard error and tty output.  The -f
		   option can be used to select which of these to output.  The
		   filter argument is a comma-separated list, consisting of
		   one or more of following: stdout, stderr, and ttyout.

       -l	   Enable "list mode".	In this mode, sudoreplay will list
		   available session IDs.  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 command pattern
			   Evaluates to true if the command run matches
			   command pattern.  On systems with POSIX regular
			   expression support, the pattern may be an extended
			   regular expression.	On systems without POSIX
			   regular expression support, a simple substring
			   match is performed instead.

		   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.

		   runas runas_user
			   Evaluates to true if the command was run as the
			   specified 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 Evaluates to true if the command was run on the
			   specified terminal device.  The tty 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
		   (currently all predicates may be shortened to a single
		   character).

		   Predicates may be combined using and, or and ! operators as
		   well as '(' and ')' for grouping (note that parentheses
		   must generally be escaped from the shell).  The and
		   operator is optional, adjacent predicates have an implied
		   and unless separated by an or.

       -m max_wait Specify an upper bound on how long to wait between key
		   presses or output data.  By default, sudo_replay will
		   accurately reproduce the delays between key presses or
		   program output.  However, 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.

       -s 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	   The -V (version) option causes sudoreplay to print its
		   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 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.  For example, the following are all valid:

       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 next Friday.

       this week
	       The current time but the first day of the coming week.

       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
