Imagine you wish to show someone how to do a installation .or putting it simple imaging you wish to see everything what all a person is typing sitting in the other part of the globe
A simple way to do this using the screen command .
Person A logs in and types the command screen
Person B wish to share the same screen session as A’s
He can do this by connecting to the screen session of A by using the x switch of screen command
On A:
=====================
php-appsrv:~# screen
php-appsrv:~# screen -ls
There is a screen on:
12054.pts-1.php-appsrv (Attached)
1 Socket in /var/run/screen/S-root.
======================
On B:
=======================
php-appsrv:~# screen -ls
There is a screen on:
12054.pts-1.php-appsrv (Attached)
1 Socket in /var/run/screen/S-root.
php-appsrv:~#screen -x 12054.pts-1.php-appsrv
========================
Thats it..A and B now share a common screen session and whatever A types in can be seen by B and vice versa
