A few months (year or more?) I posted a question to see how one could
get an application to run in a terminal and re-attach to that terminal
from ssh. The consensus was that Screen was the answer. Well, as I
used it I also found that it had a cool ability to allow two users to
attach to the same console at the same time. This was great when I
was training my server administrators to do all the ugly command line
stuff. Well, it looks like others have had luck with this too:

Honestly, it's a short article that just links to Screen's website, so
it's not all that interesting. Do any of you see a use for this?
Most of us run X so we would just fire up VNC and connect to the
entire desktop, but this is great for those situations where bandwidth
is an issue, or having X is just plain unacceptable.
Anyone think a screen demo would be a good presentation?

While at Miami Systems Mike Bell put together a terminal server to act
as a console for several of the servers. It used Screen. It was very
cool - either Mike or I could connect to that box and control one or
more servers. I think there's a lot of applicability to the tool.
