side effects of lobotomization. lazy, mostly. too much trouble to wire a second set of outlets. lazy's what screwed me today -- coulda turned off all the extraneous if i'd wanted to, easy as pie, but nooooo. > i keep a spare cable so if i decide the outage will be too long I can > put the monitor back into the UPS, but to just ride out the outage > u're far better off without the UPS true. hindsight, and all. -- DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #126 from Sean Quinlan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : How to SUSPEND A SCREEN SESSION -- two keys: control-a control-d (hold down control, and press "a" then "d") to detach the session (and return you to your shell). You can then reattach with "screen -r". You can also use "screen -ls" to list all screen sessions and their pids, in order to connect to a specific screen session. And you can use "screen -x" to connect to an already connected screen session (I generally use -x instead of -r, since it does more :). Of course, "man screen" will give you more options.
