if the user isn't using screen at their console, there will be no screen to connect to. afaik, screen cannot connect to any virtual terminal, only ones created by screen. if you are trying to figure out what this user is doing (kind of scary that you have two root users logged in that you don't know), you can check out root's bash history (/root/.bash_history), but there is no way to spy (i assume that's what you're trying to do) if they are not using screen already. if you are an admin on this system and would like this capability, you can start screen when a user logs on so they are already in a screen session (thought i don't know if there is anything that stops them from ctrl+A+D'ing out of it. so basically screen can not connect to any old terminal, just other screen sessions. jon <>< On Tue, 28 Sep 2004 23:16:12 -0700, Jared Anderson wrote: > > > On Tue, 28 Sep 2004 23:01:49 -0700, "todd hewett" said: > > > Cheers all. > > > > > > > > Situation. > > > > > > > > 2 users logged in over ssh. > > > > > > > > Both using the same username, on different tty's > > > > > > > > 10:54pm up 1 day, 3:36, 2 users, load average: 0.04, 0.04, 0.01 > > > > USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE JCPU PCPU WHAT > > > > root pts/0 ip19-8-14-10.ph. 7:09pm 0.00s 13.38s 0.02s w > > > > root pts/1 fgtpur.lkreygh.c 9:55pm 4:24 0.04s 0.04s -bash > > > > > > > > I am trying to get some sort of screen -x root:pts/1 to work. > > > > > > > > Obviously I am not succeeding yet. > > > > > > > > Thanks, > > > > > > > > Todd. > > > > > > > I'm not exactly sure what you are trying to do, reattach or use multi-display mode? > > For multi-display, doesn't just this work?: > > screen -x > > Do you get an error message or something? > --------------------------------------------------- > PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us > To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change you mail settings: > http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss > -- Jon <>< --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change you mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
