howdy-

about a year ago i had a client in another country who wanted me to  
SSH into his server and figure out what was wrong with how his qmail  
system was configured. he sent me the IP, port, and root password in  
a PGP-encrypted email, and while i did the work, he was in a jabber  
window so we could talk about what i was seeing and ask questions in  
real time.

anyway, he was running something on his system which allowed him to  
see, in real time, the commands i was typing and the output from  
them. i remember at the time he told me what the name of the program  
was, but it's been over a year and i don't remember.

i have a client for whom i need to set up something like this, plus  
i'd like to have it available on my own server in case i ever have a  
need for it.

and google is giving me hundreds of links to programs with "monitor"  
in the name, or copies of the man page for the "watch" command, and  
all kinds of things... the search terms are too generic in this case  
to be quickly useful.

does anybody know of such a program, and if so can you give me a  
specific name and/or URL?
