As long as the permissions are correct you can just redirect, you just need to know what tty your piping to, i used who to check, and you have to be an equal or higher user, my example was done as the same user on both sides, like so: ttyp1: $ echo hello world > /dev/ttyp0 $ ttyp0 $ hello world
I think STeve means otherwise, as to force that user's tty to give input to the command shell or force them to do an exec(). In this example, ttyp1 is doing the actual exec, and redirecting the output to ttyp0. I don't know of any methods myself to force a user to do an exec() on a specific terminal. I think this would require some help in the kernel, or software on both terminals such as 'screen'.
