Team Viewer is a very useful utility allowing us to share our computer screens remotely.
Consider a scenario wherein you & a colleague are working in different geographic locations & trying to troubleshoot a scenario or maybe you are trying to provide a knowledge transfer to a junior administrator regarding a task but the junior administrator does not work in the same geographic location as you.
In this situation using the screen command is a good option for you to be able to share your terminal session screen with anyone in real time. Here's how to do it:
Open up two terminal sessions for the same server & get the current shell PIDs.
On one of the terminal windows run the screen command & get the session id with 'screen -ls' command.
Now, attach to this screen on the second terminal session using the session id of the screen obtained from 'screen -ls' command.
That's it. Now any command you run on one terminal will be visible on the other terminal as shown in the below screen shots:
To end the screen sessions press ctrl+d.
The screen command was available out of the box in this Solaris 11 server but may not available in some Linux distributions by default. You can install screen command using a yum repository in case its not available.
