Linux screen

About linux screen program. Really nice to have it but usually when I find some article about using some linux software, there are always some missing pieces and then I have to search google again and again and that’s not good.

Type:

screen -> it opens up new screen window and you are in it

ctrl +a is for switching windows

ctrl+a c is for creating new screen window

Now to close it (detach) use:

ctrl+a d

To list all current screens:

screen -ls

To reattach to it use:

screen -r (number)

To close it use:

screen -XS (number) quit
