I wonder if this could be done with screen -- could you run a screen session in the "active" terminal, then view that session from another terminal, and set it to display the scrollback content from the "active" terminal? (some minor exploration hasn't confirmed that this is possible... but it sure seems like it should work.) Screen can also log to a file, and that could be processed by a simple tail / cat-like app to show all but the last n-lines, to correspond to the other terminal's height. --Rogan > Keith > > -- > Keith Lofstrom kei...@keithl.com Voice (503)-520-1993 > KLIC --- Keith Lofstrom Integrated Circuits --- "Your Ideas in Silicon" > Design Contracting in Bipolar and CMOS - Analog, Digital, and Scan ICs > _______________________________________________ > PLUG mailing list > PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org > http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug > _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
