View the console of a application running on a remote server

Question

I have an application which I can run locally via Putty. This lets me view and track activity on that application. I use the command below to execute the application:

java -jar my_server.jar

I would like to view the console of my application running on remote server. How would I do this?

Any pointers/help would be appropriated.

Answer 1

This question does not relate to either java or jconsole.

This is about terminal facilities. Putty is used to perform SSH connection. If the remote server is Unix like system you can use command screen to perform what you want. Take a look on Unix shell reference to learn how to use screen.
