If you've got expect installed you'll probably have kibitz which I suspect is exactly what you're after. It's dead handy. kibitz (1) - allow two people to interact with one shell INTRODUCTION kibitz allows two (or more) people to interact with one shell (or any arbitrary program). Uses include: · A novice user can ask an expert user for help. Using kibitz, the expert can see what the user is doing, and offer advice or show how to do it right. · By running kibitz and then starting a full-screen editor, people may carry out a conversation, retaining the ability to scroll backwards, save the entire conversation, or even edit it while in progress. · People can team up on games, document editing, or other cooperative tasks where each person has strengths and weaknesses that complement one another.
