[SOLVED] sharing TTY?

Hi folks!

is it possible to, share a tty? Let me explain.
I have a lot of computers around me. And one of them act as a file/torrent server.
it doesnt have a keyboard connected, but it does have a monitor.

why does it have a monitor you ask, well, i like to see whats going on.

But sometimes i log in via ssh and make changes and stuff,
and sometimes i need to add torrents manually to rtorrent or change the throttling.

Why dont you just run it in a screen session?

Beacuse that takes the info away from the monitor when the screen detaches.
The system runs without any X, just pure cli.
I love the idea behind x11vnc, But isnt there a way to do the same ting in console?

I hope you understand what i want to accomplish, Even if my english is terrible.

Thanks in advance!

-x   Attach to a not detached screen session. (Multi display mode).

With this, you can connect to the screen session, without detatching it.
