NAME
sudoreplay - replay sudo session logs
SYNOPSIS
sudoreplay [-h] [-d directory] [-f filter] [-m max_wait]
[-s speed_factor] ID
sudoreplay [-h] [-d directory] -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 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) Pause output; press any key to resume.
`<' Reduce the playback speed by one half.
`>' Double the playback speed.
The options are as follows:
-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.
-h The -h (help) option causes sudoreplay to
print a short help message to the standard

Maintenance Commands SUDOREPLAY(1m)
output and exit.
-l [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 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 name
Sudo 1.8.6p7 Last change: July 12, 2012 2
Maintenance Commands SUDOREPLAY(1m)
Evaluates to true if the command was
run on the specified 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 (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_wait Specify an upper bound on how long to wait
between key presses or output data. By
default, sudoreplay 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
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
Sudo 1.8.6p7 Last change: July 12, 2012 3
Maintenance Commands SUDOREPLAY(1m)
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.
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.
