After installing Termbeamer (see termbeamer.com) you can use it to share a terminal session with one or more others even from behind a firewall or NAT.
Any thoughts on this command? Does it work on your machine? Can you do the same thing with only 14 characters?

screen -x
for a more advanced solution where all sharing persons can type in the session. (Although it needs elaborate setup to work with different users.)mkfifo foo
in a second terminalcat foo
in the first terminalscript -f foo
Then run several commands in the first terminal, and they will be echoed in both terminal 1 and terminal 2.script -f asdf
then have observers runtail -f asdf
(In this case asdf is *not* a fifo) For some reason, there is a slight delay between typing and seeing text echo under 'tail -f asdf' (whereas I saw no delay when catting the fifo 'foo').
