About
GNU Screen is a GNU command line application which lets you create and access virtual terminal sessions.
Local manpage: screen
Notes
From outside screen:
screen -R
reconnects to the most recently-created session.screen -ls
lists the available sessions.screen -r <pid.tty.host>
reconnects to the specified session (note: .host is optional)- If Screen refuses to connect to a specified session, that may be because it's already "attached" – use
screen -r -d <pid.tty.host>
to detach it first if necessary.
From within Screen:
[CTRL-A] d
disconnects (detaches) from the current session (but does not end it)
