Kali/Linux auto-logging of all terminal sessions using script(1), with optional tmux, logrotate, and rclone sync.

Project description

kautolog

PyPI version

Auto-log everything you see in every terminal tab on Kali/Linux using script(1). Captures prompt, commands, output, ANSI colors, and ncurses apps with optional timing/replay, tmux per-pane logs, logrotate, and rclone cloud sync.

Install

Recommended:

pipx install kautolog
kautolog install

With extras:

kautolog install --with-tmux --with-sync remote:terminal-logs --interval 10

This will:

  • Hook into both ~/.bashrc and ~/.zshrc for Zsh and Bash auto-logging.
  • Install kautolog-replay script into ~/.local/bin.

Replaying logs

To replay a session with timing:

kautolog replay ~/terminal-logs/2025/08/10/kali-33608-203123

To instantly dump the log without delay:

kautolog replay -i ~/terminal-logs/2025/08/10/kali-33608-203123

Uninstall

kautolog uninstall

Removes all shell hooks and scripts cleanly.

If you installed using pipx:

pipx uninstall kautolog

Log Format

Logs are saved to:

~/terminal-logs/YYYY/MM/DD/hostname-PID-TIMESTAMP.log
~/terminal-logs/YYYY/MM/DD/hostname-PID-TIMESTAMP.timing

If --with-tmux is used, each tmux pane logs independently.
