An exemplary method involves a remote control agent establishing a remote control session with another computer system. In response to the remote control session being established, the remote control agent requests that a monitoring component provide information about activity on the computer system during the remote control session. The monitoring component may be a process monitoring component, a file monitoring component, and/or another type of monitoring component. A logging component creates a log. The monitoring component provides the requested information, and the logging component records the information from the monitoring component in the log.

Systems and methods for auditing the actions performed by a remote control operator during a remote control session

The IBM PS/2s and OS/2 were used to devise a system which allows multiple satellite teleport facilities to be controlled from any computer on the network. Additional sites may be added to an existing system by the addition of the necessary communications lines, additional site computers, and configuration changes. During operation, an operator at any computer on the network can monitor any uplink site and, with sufficient privilege, assume control of a remote system. Thus the operation of a group of uplink terminals may be centralized and the problem of control reduced. The control software is described in detail. >
