If you use SSH in your daily life, make a habit of using `screen`
Start a new screen session: screen
Start a named session: screen -S session_name
List active sessions: screen -ls
Attach to a session: screen -r session_name
Detach from a session: Ctrl+A, D
#linux #terminal #ubuntu #ssh
Cool. Why? Is this to prevent staying logged into an agent? What is the benefit? honest q, learning here.
It's good for remotely running long running processes.
That's why I came across `screen`
ssh
screen
./program
ctrl+Detach
exit
good to know, thank you. 🤝
Add this into your. bash_functions
scr ()
{
echo "Disconnect from your screen session: CTRL-A, d";
echo "Open another screen 'window': CTRL-A, c";
echo "Cycle through you open screen windows: CTRL-A, space";
read -p "Press enter to continue";
screen -ls | grep --color=auto -q Main && screen -xr Main || screen -S Main
}
export - f scr
Now you have a shortcut that remembers if you had a running session.
ssh, screen and vi.
This is everything you need to rule the world
And make a new screen screen…ctrl+a,n? Or is it just ctrl+number…
Anyhow, screen is a great tool for manually started bitcoin nodes and Blockstream satellite monitoring/reporting.
