Hi all
Hmm - screen is a neat tool - thanks for pointing this out. The following is a bit of a circuitous link but I was watching Hackers the other week and it made me wonder if there are other "basic" commands out there that are really useful but nobody uses. In the film, the sysadmins managed to narrow the hacker activity down to "terminal 27" and then one said "OK - let's echo terminal 27". By this I assume: a) terminal 27 = pts/27 or IP address 27 or whatever b) echoing means sysadmin can see what you're up to. I thought the only way to spy on your users was to do something like ps aux |grep username but (in another tenuous link to screen) there are situations where I could usefully see the progress of shells I have running on the console. I know VNC can do this for me but for some reason I really dislike the program - might be to do with it screwing up my screen reader but it's just a personal preference. Is there a magic command to echo the contents of a particular terminal to root's screen (whether root is locally or remotely logged in)? Thanks again everyone - this is just another example of the incredible depth of knowledge on this list. Cheers Rob
