hi

what do you mean by switch ssh???
are you trying to say to login/switch to different PC through ssh??

anyways command to login to other PC through your PC is
# ssh -x <username>@<IP address>

Hi Varunb

am looking for switching on different ssh session on same Linux box not to a different one.

if i understand your problem right, you can do the following

you can replace the commando1, ... with commands like: ls, grep, if-then-else, find, .......

But if you don't mean this, then (i geuss) you need to clearify your problem a little bit more...

Hi All

consider the situation of having a Linux box . And made connection to the box from a machine using session shh1 and connected to the same Linux box using session ssh2....

Is there any way to switch from session ssh1 to ssh2


Thanks

Hi,

You could use screen or tmux but would need to set it up from the initial shell (ie "ssh1") in order to attach to that shell from the second ssh (ie "ssh2").

For random tutorials see for example:
- For screen: http://news.softpedia.com/news/GNU-S...al-44274.shtml
- For tmux: http://blog.hawkhost.com/2010/06/28/...l-multiplexer/

(these are just two of the links that came up when I searched duckduckgo.com for "screen tutorial" and "tmux tutorial")

There also used to be a program called "retty" that would allow you to steal control of terminal programs... I think it was a little buggy though and may not be available for most distros.

Cheers,

Evo2.

PS. Your use of "ssh1" and "ssh2" terminology may have been a little confusing to some, since "ssh1" and "ssh2" usually refer to the two different protocol versions of ssh.
