[aklug] Behold - Quick and dirty shared screen

This couldn't be easier.. we've been using this for a while as well to
help me train others.

--------
#!/bin/sh

if [ -z $1 ]; then echo "No Session Name Defined"; exit; fi;

xterm -fg white -bg black -g 180x50 -e "ssh -t screen@10.1.0.1 screen
-U -xRR -S $1
--------

There are a lot of projects out there to help people share a text
session. This one is pretty simple assuming that:

10.1.0.1 is the name of a shared machine

screen is the name of the user (screen@10.1.0.1)

and everybody knows the password or has a key in place

I just yell out 'behold watchme' and the 'watchme' session is created
remotely. Using session names allows us to run several screen
sessions on the remote users account.

I think I posted this to aklug before.. searching didn't find it.
