People often underestimate the usefulness of the linux-command screen.
What does screen do? Screen creates a terminal session for the actual user.
Type:
1 | screen |
to create a terminal session.
Or type:
1 | screen -S <sessionname> |
where <sessionname> should be replaced with your own name.
Create a new window:
1 | Crtl+a c |
which means (Press Control and a together and after that press c)
Now we created a second window. To list all created windows in the actual session type:
1 | Crtl+a " |
Germans have to press Shift+2 for “.
Now the two created windows will be shown:
Just choose one Window and press enter.
To quit your actual work an detach the session:
1 | Crtl+a d |
To list all active sessions:
1 | screen -list |
You should see a similar picture like the following:
Here you can see the name of the session: 1597.stefan
To restore the session simply type:
1 | screen -r stefan |
Maybe you have to type the complete id with 1597.stefan if there exist another session with the same name.
