I need to see what is happening on the local console to see the status of something I left running, is there a way to do this? Thanks! jlc

The easiest thing that I can think of is using 'screen' or something. You have to run screen before you run the application you want to "watch", and then with screen -x, you can view/interact with the screen...

cat /dev/vcs1
(you'll need to setup 80x25 if using X)

Marcelo, No way to actually interact though, without using 'screen' as mentioned beforehand if for instance I needed to answer a question?
By 'console' do you mean a text-mode console or the GUI desktop running a local session? There are ways to connect to the latter remotely via vnc.

Sorry, I mean the text based console. I am familiar with the VNC method. jlc
You might want to take a look at conspy (Dag's repository), it does exactly that:
