Interacting with running shells (Fedora 15)
 
Hey all. This is my first post here. I was able to set up SSH and log into my linux machine and I want to interact with shells already running on the desktop. I can locate and view the processes but I'm wondering if its possible to "get into" the program I already have running via SSH and enter commands. Thanks in advance for any advice.

Depends on the program; please specify.
You might also want to look at the screen cmd http://linux.die.net/man/1/screen

to be specific, I wish to enter commands into a shell running a JAR file (java runtime environment)

To add to chrism's post: not unless you have it running under screen,
or some other terminal multiplexer

the screen program worked great, it was just what I was looking for. Thanks for your advice!
