Hi Cody,

I assume your using Linux and I don't think anything like this exists for
that OS.

However, for FreeBSD users wishing to control other terms there is a way.
The Kernel snoop device "snp" needs to be compiled into the kernel, the you
need to /dev/MAKEDEV snp0 snp1 snp2. You can then use the "watch" command
to remote control another terminal (this is only available to root).

For example:
watch -W /dev/ttyp1

would allow you to read and write to ttyp1, without the -W flag you will
only be
able to watch another terminal. It's kind of a handy thing when you want to
see what
others are doing on your system. However, if you are trying to connect to a
disconnected
session that is now a zombie, you won't be able to as there is no longer any
socket IO for the
process available.
