       Transmits a shell session to be shown in real time in various different computers or terminals.

       gems-server  transmits  data  in real time to clients via a network connection. Each one of these clients
       must run the gems-client(1) program to establish connection and receive the transmitted data. Clients can
       connect and disconnect at any given time, but  of  course  they  will  only  receive  the  data  that  is
       transmitted while they are connected (just like a radio transmission/reception system).

       The  gems  system  is normally used to transmit a console session and show it in various computers at the
       same time, but it is also possible to transmit any other kind of data.

       /var/lock/gems-server.PORT
              Lock  file.   gems-server  creates  this  file  on  initialization and deletes it on exit. PORT is
              replaced by the TCP port used.  gems-server will not run if this file is already  present  in  the
              system.

       -ip    IP address where connections will be accepted.

       -port  TCP port. Default: 6666.

       -maxconn
              Do not accept more than n simultaneous clients. Default: 25.

       -wait  Wait until m clients are connected before starting the transmission. This is useful to ensure that
              the first m clients  will  receive  all  data  transmitted.  The  default  behavior  is  to  start
              transmission immediately, without waiting for client connections.

       -log   By  default,  the  server  does  not write log messages. This option configures the destination of
              logs. The dest argument can be `syslog' (to log through  syslogd(8)),  `stderr'  (to  log  through
              standard  error  output), or it can be an arbitrary filename (log messages will be appended to the
              file, if it exists).

       -noscript
              By default, the server executes the script(1) program to take terminal data and transmit it.  When
              this option is used the server will not run script, and data will be read form standard input.

       -script_bin
              Specifies the location of the script(1).  program. Default: /usr/bin/script.

       -h     Show a short help message.

       -v     Show version information.
