I love using screen at work, especially while I’m in a PuTTy<\/a> session. Basically, screen lets you open up another bash session without disrupting a current bash session in the same window. So I can open one PuTTy session and with screen emulate multiple. This is nice because I can do something different in each screen session without loosing my place in another. Trust me, it’s awesome.<\/p>\n

Install<\/strong><\/p>\n

To download:<\/p>\n

apt-get install screen<\/pre>\n
or (depends on your distribution and packet manager)<\/p>\n
yum install screen<\/pre>\n
Use<\/strong><\/p>\n
Create a screen by typing the command:<\/p>\n
screen<\/pre>\n
Super easy, to detach from a screen:<\/p>\n
press CTRL+”a”+”d”<\/p>\n
Now what? There is now a floating screen session someone. How do you reconnect to it? First you can list all screen session with:<\/p>\n
screen -ls<\/pre>\n
With knowledge of what screens exist, you can reconnect to one with the command:<\/p>\n
screen -r <SCREEN REFERENCE>\r\n\r\n\"Screen<\/a><\/pre>\n
To kill the current screen, use:<\/p>\n
press CTRL+”a”+”\\”<\/p>\n
Other helpful shortcuts can be found by pressing:<\/p>\n
CTRL+”a” release “?”<\/p>\n
\"Screen<\/a><\/p>\n
There you have it! Manage your screens wisely.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
