Topic: Run console from ssh

[egueguen]

Hello,

On the server (SME 6) It is possible to switch between the console and the command line via Alt+F1 and Alt+F2. But I can't do it while using Remote SSH Client (Putty). Any idea ?

Thanks a lot.

hi,

or try consider to switch to screen

Screen is a powerfull multi screen manager, with a lot of great functions embedded, but it can at least let you have 10 screens on each putty session.

I personnally use this rpm : screen-3.9.11-3.i386.rpm
It can be easily by find on the net.

(One more word : powerful, but not totally easy... A look at

Code: [Select]

man screen could be a good idea )

HTH,

ok. Thanks but in putty, what is the command to run the console ?

[egueguen]

I got It.

Just type "su admin" to switch from one mode to another.

as root you can also run /sbin/e-smith/console
