Re: [ossig] Using ssh to run a program locally ?

[Tze-Meng Tan <tmtan@opensos.net>]

I just tried this on my FreeBSD machine


hit CTRL-ALT-F1 to drop to text mode console login
logged in as myself
CTRL-ALT-F9 to get back to X11 and from an xterm
ls -al > /dev/ttyv0
the output of the ls was redirected to the text console and displayed 
properly ... which would be equivalent to the screen of your kiosk

so try this:

you would have to have a left yourself logged into the console of your 
kiosk
ssh into your kiosk
you will probably need to be root
redirect your program output to the console .... /dev/ttyv0 if that is 
a freebsd machine

I just tried it again without logging in..on the console...text login 
prompt on screen
the output of ls gets garbled so you probably need to use curses in 
your kiosk program

Cheers
