The gems system
===============
The gems system allows you to show a console session in various different
terminals, in real time. It something like VNC in observer mode, but for
the console :) .
One possible use would be in a classroom with many computers, where all
students can observe in their screens what the professor is doing
in his console.
To begin "sharing" a console session, just run the server with the command:
$ gems-server
From then on, the clients can be used to "observe" the session from any
terminal with network access:
$ gems-client server-address
where "server-address" is the domain or IP address of the computer where the
gems-server was started.
Clients can connect and disconnect at any time.
The gems system can also be used to transmit any kind of data (instead of
a console session) to more than one computer in real time. Just use the
option '-noscript', and gems-server will read data from standard input.
See INSTALL to obtain installation instructions.
