Throwing in your two cents without providing any help is just as bad, if not worse, than someone who's asking a *possibly* off-topic question, which, since this involves cygwin, is not likely. If such a marginally off-topic message on this incredibly high volume mailing list bothers you, there's a "delete" button in your email client. To help the OP: An ssh connection typically does not create any sort of console window on the system that is being connected to (this is the same on Linux or Windows/Cygwin). Depending on your needs, you may be able to emulate something like this using 'screen'. You can open screen in the local terminal (rxvt is recommended), and start a screen session inside of it. Then when you ssh in, you can attach to that screen session using "screen -x" and both parties will be able to see what's going on. There's a little more to it than that, and will probably need some experimentation, but that's something that can get you started. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
