Take a Peek at You Current X Display
From time to time I found my self a need to peek what's happening on my desktop screen in the office or at home (I left my Desktop turned on most of the time). No it is not everyday need, maybe only once in 2-3 month.
possible scenario:
- I left office or home while uploading big file using firefox. I need to know whats exactly happening at the end of the upload.
- I left azureus turned on when I left home for work. I want to know the progress and maybe add more download to the queue.
Here's what I usually does:
$ ssh myoffice -L5900:localhost:5900
$ x11vnc
from client side (in this case my home machine)
$ vncviewer -encodings "copyrect tight zrle hextile" localhost:0
