I am currently trying to make a remote controlled computer (or turtle) using the new pocket controllers as remotes.
I have already created all the components however I am trying to make the client run invisible on start up in a new shell (or in the background) without the user of the computer noticing. I need the program to be able to shutdown, restart, access peripherals, etc. from within the new shell!

I do not know how to do this, and If possible it has to be invisible so if I wanted to prank my friends I could install it and control their computer!

Sorry, I don't mean it as malicious its basically so I can monitor what people are doing on my server, for security cuz some of them use the computer chat program to plan greifing raids and such

Changing your story doesn't make your intent any less malicious.

Regardless, you could probably abuse nsh to do this, but again, that is a malicious misuse of the program, made even worse if you are, as you claim, a staff member on the server. It won't let you view their screens, for that you'd need vncd as well.

Thanks, feel free to try out my server. We use a custom modpack that I made! details can be found here: http://modpack.goodluckgoodgame.tk/pages/Server.html

Well, if you have a server, feel free to advertise the heck out of it in our Servers section.
