[9fans] drawterm to already existing session?

[rsykora via 9fans]

Dear list,


I am able to drawterm to a (9front) cpu server. Say I have a
graphical "session" there. Am I able to drawterm, from yet
different machine, to the same session (see the same windows
etc.)? Can I see then actions taken through one connection
in the other drawterm?  (Ie, it all works like a vnc, in a
similar manner to running tmux but graphical?)

Thanks for any comments.


Best regards,
Ruda

No.

You can use vncs/vncv if you need that.

No. And as far as I know, vnc to plan 9 will spawn a new rio session too.
People have written programs that mimic gnu screen or tmux,
but I haven't used any of them.

wrong.
vncs spawns rio session.
vncv does not.

Aha, thanks. I had the feeling that this is somehow doable
with rebinding some files/directories.
