sending the display to other terminals

[so_2]

Hi all,

I know that we can get the display of console on our working terminal by dtterm -C -name console &. How can i see the display on another terminal say /dev/pts/tc on my terminal /dev/pts/ta.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

As per my knowledge it is not possible. You can write to the other terminal using commands like ">", "talk" , "wall" etc.. but cannot read whats on the other terminal. So to speak you can't read the data on the other streams.

I'm not too sure, possibly by system programming manupulating underlying "file discriptors" , Have thought of , but never tried ....

Identify destination terminal with command tty
Then, on source session, do
script "tty_out_put_from_dest_terminal"

S.O,

You can use "script" command. Do a man script for more information.
