If you need to look at what happened before your question was sent to this list...good luck :-), I mean, I don't actually know if there's a way to recover that, of course, here there's so much people, just wait :-) Well, for future cases, you might use screen on machine B, open a screen session using -RD option. And work normally. Whenever you want you will be able to see what's happening there by connecting through ssh from machine A to B and running: screen -RD Automatically you will be "redirected" to the opened session on machine B and you'll see the same if you were seated in front of machine B. Maybe that will allow you to overcome future problems. -- Manuel Arostegui Ramirez. Electronic Mail is not secure, may not be read every day, and should not be used for urgent or sensitive issues.
