Hi all, I have been following this thread and I wonder is there a similar prog/utility to grab a current console session?
This would be very handy for me where I have multiple PC's running seti@home with no monitors, keyboards etc. I need to access them from time to time and start up a new session (after a power cut or such like). At the moment I have to connect a monitor and keyboard to each unit, start it up and then switch to the next one. If I telnet, I am going in on a pseudo terminal where I want to actually take over the console and see what is on there. I hope you all understand what I mean........
I'm not exactly sure what you mean, but you shouldn't need to go thru the "swap monitor and keyboard routine everytime there is a power outage". You should have each machine setup so that it will startup by itself with a power-off/power-on. Set the bios up so the machines WILL NOT halt on "no-keyboard errors", and have the sshd daemon start automatically. After a power outage, you should be able to restart each machine, wait for the boot process to finish, then ssh into the machine. -- use Perl; #powerful programmable prestidigitation
