A version or two of Ubuntu had such a setup as th default, IIRC. They made the extra stuff added on top of screen in a separate package called byobu. It still seems to be under active maintinance. Under Debian and Ubuntu just install that package. I figure the scriptology there may provide useful inspiration on other distributions as well: https://launchpad.net/byobu -- Tzafrir Cohen | tzaf...@jabber.org | VIM is http://tzafrir.org.il | | a Mutt's tzaf...@cohens.org.il | | best tzaf...@debian.org | | friend _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
