Terminals

BeatRyder · 10-19-2004, 05:18 PM

Ok, here is the deal

I tend to leave programs running on terminals F2 thru F6

Now, I am fine with switching between them all using CTRL+ALT+Fn where 6<= n <= 1
to use the appropriate terminal.

Is there a way that i can see what they are doing via ssh.

IE, if I leave a distributed computing programm running on terminal F2 and i want to check on that remotely using shh only

as in no gui, all I have is the abiity to log in via ssh.

thanx for your help

Should be what you're looking for.

You could use screen to be able to disconnect and reconnect to a running program. I sometimes start stuff (downloads, computations, etc) in a screen session at school or at work and then log off. When I come home I ssh to school (or work) and reconnect to the screen session and the program(s) is (are) still running.

To get started, read the LinuxJournal article on screen.
