What is the command to link two terminals so that anything typed on one will appear on the other?
In addition to the previously mentioned "screen" application, you can use the "kibitz" script which is described at
http://www.die.net/doc/linux/man/man1/kibitz.1.html
I'd have to go hunting for the source, but from what I read, it
looks like it's just a perl script. It should be available for download at
http://search.cpan.org/src/RGIERSIG/Expect-1.15/examples/kibitz/kibitz
Oh, the previous suggestion of using "screen" can also be used to answer your previous question about virtual consoles...screen allows you to multiplex terminals, so with one ssh connection, you can connect to a single box, and then from there use "screen" to provide multiple terminals, allowing you to have connections to a multitude of other boxes. I use it quite regularly and it's chock full of useful features like notifying you if a terminal has been silent for X seconds (if you've got a long compile running in the background, this is handy to let you know when it's done), or notify you when there's activity on a terminal (great for chatting sessions). It also allows you to detach your session from one connection (say, at work), then go home, and reattach, picking up right where you left off. I recommend getting cozy with "screen" to anybody who spends any amount of time in a console session.
