conspy perhaps ? # aptitude show conspy Thursday 3 September 19:02:30 AEST 2015 -- show conspy Package: conspy State: not installed Version: 1.8-2 Priority: optional Section: admin Maintainer: Russell Stuart <russell-deb...@stuart.id.au> Architecture: amd64 Uncompressed Size: 67.6 k Depends: libc6 (>= 2.2.5), libncurses5 (>= 5.5-5~), libtinfo5 Description: Remote control of Linux virtual consoles Conspy allows a (possibly remote) user to see what is displayed on a Linux virtual console, and send keystrokes to it. It is rather like VNC, but where VNC takes control of a GUI conspy takes control of a text mode virtual console. Unlike VNC, conspy does not require a server to be installed prior to being used.
