Merry Christmas to all!!! Thanks for all who helped, your guidance was really useful!!! For anyone who ever needs to control a session through konsole (i'll use this for "helpdesk" to my users of an Informix application), working with SuSE9.1/SLES9 x86 and screen preloaded from the media. 1.- The file /etc/screenrc must be this way: termcapinfo xterm* G0:is=\E[?4l\E> termcapinfo linux me=\E[m:AX multiuser on acladd root 2. Working with a termcap file gently borrowed from Graham Smith, which you can ask me anytime, you have to ensure you enable these variables to all users, in my case i added to a shell which presents a menu of my app., lets say dbgmenu.sh: export INFORMIXTERM=termcap export TERM=vt100 export TERMCAP=/opt/informix/etc/termcap ...... 3. User XXX starts the app. via his .bashrc screen dbgmenu.sh 4. I (as root) take control of his session with: screen -x -r XXX/ 5. When i finish to help him, i close my session with: Ctrl+a+d Greetings Oxiel
