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 pattern matching the
iolog_file
option in the sudoers file. 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 output has not been redirected,
sudoreplay
will act on the following keys:
’
(space)<
’>
’The options are as follows:
-d
directory-f
filtersudoreplay
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.-h
-h
(help)
option causes sudoreplay
to print a short help
message to the standard output and exit.-l
[search expression]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:
sudo
was run this field will be empty in the
log.sudo
runs commands as user
root by
default.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
‘)
’ 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_waitsudoreplay
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_factorsudoreplay
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
-V
(version)
option causes sudoreplay
to print its version
number and exit.The time and date may be specified multiple ways, common formats include:
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.
The following are all valid time and date specifications:
Note that the
stdin,
stdout and stderr files will be empty
unless sudo
was used as part of a pipeline for a
particular command.
List sessions run by user millert:
# sudoreplay -l user millert
List sessions run by user bob with a command containing the string vi:
# sudoreplay -l user bob command vi
List sessions run by user jeff that match a regular expression:
# sudoreplay -l user jeff command '/bin/[a-z]*sh'
List sessions run by jeff or bob on the console:
# sudoreplay -l ( user jeff or user bob ) tty console
