[PD] ssh - leaving pd running

[B. Bogart]

Hi Dafydd,

Probably too late, but for resurfacing I did something like this:

Used the X server resolution hotkeys to change from the gemwin size to a
bigger size, the xterm is then hidden on the smaller resolution, but
visible on the higher one.

I also put a netreceive with a bunch of [route]s that acted as a simple
cmd interpreter:

[netreceive 8000]
 |
[route close]
 |
[0, destroy<
 |
[gemwin]

Then on the shell: (local or remote)

% telnet localhost 8000

close;

to send the 0,destroy message.

.b.
