In such contexts I like to point out GNU Screen. http://www.linuxforums.org/articles/gnu-screen-the-ascii-window-manager_274.html I did a poor job of the article, but screen is really fantastic. You can connect to screen using the -x switch for mutiview. The manpage is confusing and does not stress enough the value of this usage. But for most practical troubleshooting situations in the UNIX world, screen is much better than bitmapped remote access. -Girish -- Gayatri Hitech web: http://gayatri-hitech.com SpamCheetah Spam filter: http://spam-cheetah.com _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email [email protected] with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
