oh, actaully executing it in the other shell, not just outputting it to another terminal, yea thats trickier, havent been able to get that done, though i was working on it a while, did get to far, i guess you could direct input to the other shell? possible? almost to simulate having input the command at the other shell, idk how exactly though

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'.
