I have already run apt-get update, and apt-get dist-upgrade, and the upgrade has completed. All I have left on the CLI is the output from what has been done. If I run those commands again I will have an output showing no further updates. > > Maybe you could use 'screen -RD', which will allow you to see what happened > on machine B even if you're not in front of the computer of machine A, or > just machine A is not turned on. > I supposed you to know how screen works, don't you? No I'm not familiar with screen. Perhaps I didn't explain the problem too well. I need to be able to view what is currently displayed on the CLI (KDE's Konsole) on machine B. I am working on machine A, and need to view KDE's Konsole on machine B. Nigel.
