hi, what you are referring to is called a remote shell, the best implementation of that here would openssh, ssh standing for secure shell, it installs as a server program on the remote machine and as a client program on your main machine, you use it by issuing a command on a local console thus: [EMAIL PROTECTED] bascule]$ ssh watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password: [EMAIL PROTECTED] bascule]$
as you can i sat at mycroft and issued a command to ssh to watson, my console then showed a prompt as if i was sat at watson, any commands i issue now at the promt are executed on watson and ny output or error is shown on the local console install openssh and read the man pages bascule On Friday 14 Jan 2005 7:03 pm, magnet wrote: > I only have a monitor/keyboard/mouse on the main computer and I would like > to be able to type a single line command into my console and have it > execute on any of the other remote machines I choose it to go to.
