Re: [PLUG] logging/tailing ssh sessions

["Daniel W. Ottey" <dan@bluefrogs.us>]

If you just want to see what the vendor is doing, he could run the command outputting with "tee" and then you could tail -f the file.

Vendor:  ssh user@host | tee /tmp/file_to_read

You:  tail -f /tmp/file_to_read

If you want to interact with the vendor, I'd recommend using a shared screen session.  One of our system administrators uses this technique to watch/help the DBAs.  Here is an article about it.

I have a quick question.  If you want to watch an ssh session in real time is there an easy way to do this?  I'm thinking of a scenario where you give temporary access to a vendor or another user, but you want to keep an eye on what they are doing on the system.
