In the "output" terminal, run 'ps' to find out the shell pid. 3. Use lsof -p <pid> to find out the pts that the pid is using. 4. In the "input" terminal, run bash &> /dev/pts/xxx to start a shell and redirect everything to the "output" terminal. If you want typed commands to be also echoed on the "input" terminal, you might have to fiddle with the stty settings. -- Wesley J.
