Notes

  • Stopping the daemon does NOT delete credentials from Keychain
  • To restart: /asciinema-tools:daemon-start
  • The daemon will NOT auto-start on next login until started again

Troubleshooting

Issue Cause Solution

Daemon still running Multiple instances Kill manually: pkill -f asciinema-chunker
Can't find plist Setup not run Run /asciinema-tools:daemon-setup first
Recordings not stopping asciinema rec is running Exit recording shell first (Ctrl-D or type exit)
