Hi James, I need it as the program that is running on the server, takes over a virtual screen CRTL/ALT+F8 and I need to be able to see that output, it's also curses based to make things interesting.
It looks like the serial option is the only answer as long as I can get to the other virtual screens over a serial link. -----Original Message----- From: Richard Urwin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 19 September 2003 14:52 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [expert] remote access to text only screens On Friday 19 Sep 2003 1:47 pm, Kitchener, Steve wrote: > Hi James, > > I know about ssh and the like, but what I was after was the ability > to display the screens that are only normally displayed via the > console screen, specifically those that are accessed via the CTRL/ALT > + F1 etc...., but to be able to display those remotely on a different > computer. Why do you need those screens and not some functionally identical text logon? It is possible to get the single-user console to be via a serial port, (and by extension over a modem,) but doing it over a network is always going to fail if the network drivers are not loaded, say in single-user mode. The only reason I can think of is if you want to support users who have no GUI running. It might be possible to come up with some app that lets you do that, the interfaces are pretty simple, but it probably isn't out there already. -- Richard Urwin
