This is amazing. I just installed the above to the 5-6 linux boxes I need to keep updated monthly. Started screen then split up my terminal so I could kick them all of (basically) at once, and watch them run through. (I had been opening multiple instances of the terminal and rearranging their windows to accomplish this.) One of them was in need of a release upgrade so this came in handy immediately--it ran overnight on screen while I logged out of the main session. Another one of them drops the lan connection every few days, maybe keeping a ssh running via screen will keep it alive.

Also looking into tmux...thank you again, this is very helpful.

...tmux *is* better - I like having the hostname in the 'status bar' and the ability to name each pane/session. Looking into tmux, I found tmux-cssh - so, with a simple config file ```rpi:-sc rpi1 -sc rpi2 -sc rpi3 -sc rp4 -sc rpi5 -sc rpi6``` and a single command ```tmux-cssh -cs rpi``` I can log in to 6 boxes at once, and they appear tiled in the terminal automatically. I can even synchronize my keystrokes (or not, with -ds)...talk about streamlined...this is incredible.

The status line, however, is also available in screen (it's just off by default). I've lacked the motivation to switch since screen works so well.

You may be interested in my persistent script, which aggressively keeps you connected to screen/tmux/xpra over ssh across sleep and network flakiness.
