A very popular solution is screen (sysutils/screen). Run a screen session, then you can share the session from any number of clients, or attach/detach at will. Quite good if, for example you're running a process (within a screen session, of course!) in an xterm, and you want to restart X. Simply detach the screen session, restart X, then reattach screen to your xterm. -- Regards, Paul Fraser http://furyc0de.net/
