You are a godsend! I was just asking about this feature on the list... 1) Should be reasonably fast 2) Should use secure connection (ideally ssh). I'd rather teach Pharo communicate via standard input/output first so you can use it as a command line tool, then expand this ability to talk via any variant of TCP/IP. I am very new to Pharo so I don't know the extent it's married to its GUI environment, not sure how easy it is to implement...

Hello,
Following the discussion on VM remote administration ( http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/pipermail/pharo-users/2010-May/000268.html ), I started working on something like a remote workspace. So far, I'm able to connect to a VM running Pharo with netcat, and execute some code. It is not much, but it was fun to write, and I learned a lot of things :)
Now, before I add new features, I feel I should ask if someone would be interested by this, and what use case you would imagine: -Connecting from another VM or sticking with netcat? -Remote debugging (might not be easy, but should be fun to do) -Sending commands to a lot of VMs at once (and querying status) -Multiple connections possibles? -Being able to save a session (like http://www.gnu.org/software/screen/ ) -Authentication/encryption? Is there a way to use openssl, or should I steal the 3DES code from RFB (it should be quick enough for text only communication)?
Best regards,
Geoffroy
