How can the output of one users xterm be directed to the other user so that you can easily allow someone to see what you are doing?
Back in early 2005, someone at work was helping me troubleshoot a problem and he somehow directed his output onto my xterm. All he asked for was my IP address. I don't know if the output was also being displayed for him or not. Around that time, I went overseas on a 2 year assignment. When I got back early last year, I went to the only two people I could think of that I might have been working with back in 2005 and asked them about this. Both said it wasn't them and they didn't know how to do it. I have played around with it a little but have not been able to make it work and I find that it would be pretty useful.
Has anyone here done this, or know how to do it?
I'm the product manager for SecureCRT and there's an undocumented feature in SecureCRT 6.0 and later that allows you to do this. Here are the steps:
- In SecureCRT, open the Session Options dialog for the dialog that you want to allow someone else to monitor.
- Go to the "Mapped Keys" category and click the "Map a Key" button. For the Function, select "SSH Function" and for the SSH Function, select "TOGGLE_MONITOR_SERVER".
- Connect to the session. When you want to let someone else monitor the session, press the mapped key you selected in step 2. The first time you do this, you will need to generate a public key. A dialog will be displayed that allows you to specify the information that will be needed by the person who will be monitoring the session.
- Give the other person the information from the dialog in step 3. When they connect, you will see a message in SecureCRT that they are connected. They will then be able to see everything in your SecureCRT session.
- To end the monitoring session, you can press the mapped key again to terminate the server monitor, have the other person log out, or disconnect your session in SecureCRT.
The session being monitored can use any protocol, but the session doing the monitoring must use SSH2. If you try it, I'd be interested in any feedback you have about this feature.
