This article explains some of the basic usage principles of the screen terminal multiplexer.
| screen is a moderately complex program that emulates a terminal. The feature it is best known for is the ability to disconnect and reconnect to screen sessions, which very gracefully survive logoffs. |
| GNU Screen enables you to run many shell processes in a single terminal. |
| Even better, you can split your terminal into different regions. Only Ratpoison gives you more bang for your bash! |
The first sign of Screen successfully running can be discovered by typing C-a " which shows the list of terminals.
At the moment there is only one.
The Esc key exits that window.
Alternatively, use C-a w to list them briefly in the window’s title bar. |
| A new terminal is created by typing C-a c. |
| With C-a n for next or C-a p for previous Screen you can cycle through those windows. |
| To detach Screen one can either use the brute-force method |
| or the running instance of Screen can be properly detached with C-a d first. |
| To access this one instance we re-attach with screen -R. Voilà, here we go again! |
