Screen and ubuntu 9.04

June 16th, 2009 No comments

We have to install the screen package first:

apt-get install screen

We add the following at the end of the configuration file:

vim /etc/screenrc
hardstatus string "%h%? users: %u%?"
startup_message off
hardstatus alwayslastline "Redmine: %-Lw%{= BW}%50>%n%f*   %t%{-}%+Lw%<"
bindkey -k k7 prev
bindkey -k k8 next

Now you can open a screen session:

screen
screen -r
-> resume a screen session
screen -x
-> join a screen session

When you start screen:

CTRL - A then CTRL - D
-> exit screen
CTRL - A then CTRL - C
-> new tab
CTRL - D
-> close window (when all are closed screen will be terminated)
CTRL - A then CTRL-D
-> exit screen without terminating tabs
