HTH, Pieter de Goeje Don't forget to run screen -wipe from time to time to get rid of leftover screen sockets though. Doesn't happen often, but if screen dies or the machine reboots spontaneously, this will happen.. -Garrett ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The easiest way would be to start the process from your ssh session. If you want to keep tabs on an already running process, you should start the process in such a way that it redirects the standard output and standard error streams to a file. How that's done depends on the shell you're using. You can then watch that file via ssh with 'tail -f'.

A very popular solution is screen (sysutils/screen). Run a screen session, then you can share the session from any number of clients, or attach/detach at will. Quite good if, for example you're running a process (within a screen session, of course!) in an xterm, and you want to restart X. Simply detach the screen session, restart X, then reattach screen to your xterm. -- Regards, Paul Fraser http://furyc0de.net/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

But if you already have started the process that you wish to monitor and did not have the foresight to start it in some special manner then neither sysutils/screen, script(1) or redirecting the output to a file will help. Using watch(8) can help though. -- Insert your favourite quote here.
