2.1.2.5 Remote Session
Figure 72. Remote Session Service
The Remote Session Service can be used to start and control a command
session that runs in the remote workstations. This means, for example, if the
remote workstation is a Windows NT workstations, then a DOS command prompt
will be started in the background of the remote workstation. This session will be
controlled by the manager.
Figure 73. Remote Command Session
The manager sees the window shown in Figure 73, which is the contents of the
command session in the remote workstation. You are now able to issue DOS or
for an OS/2 workstation, OS/2 commands. Whatever is done in this session, (for
example, typing a command) is first sent to the command session in the remote
system and then will be displayed in the Remote Command Session window of
the managers workstation. The user at the workstation can see, what is done in
this session if he or she switches to it using the task selection of his or her
operating system. Both the user at the remote workstation and the manager can
now work in this session and for example enter commands. Whoever types first,
their data will be entered first. This might also be useful for some help desk
functions.
