DaveQB just discovered the wonders of 'screen'

Post by DaveQB » Tue Jun 20, 2006 2:41 am

What an awesome app!! :D 8)

Why didn't someone make me read the man for this ? [I tried it out about 2 yrs ago, but by simply launching screen and trying to learn intuitively, never read the man]

I find it better then using the nohup command like I was for downloading files to my server and then logging off the ssh connection.

I am finding myself trying to find any excuse to use screen.

Well now that I am over that, what other handy proggies have I missed along the way?

Screen is the business.

I have a permanent screen session all the time with irssi running and a few consoles.
