Yikes... guess I gotta be careful with what I add to my .bashrc... added this to root's .bashrc and locked myself out of my system!

Before I exited (and then couldn't reconnect) I looked at ps -e and there were hundreds of screen/bash processes... something went haywire.

Managed to rm the .bashrc with ssh ... rm .bashrc but still had to reboot to login... even restarting sshd (via webmin) didn't do the trick.

So a warning to anyone who sees the previous message and tries it... do it on a local machine first (I went straight for root on my remote server... :-O)

Well, I think the response is overwhelmingly clear: screen!

I just wanted to add my 2 cents that I absolutely love screen... it has
saved my ass countless times. The only problem is remembering to run it
on login before starting the emerge. I suppose I really should look into
getting bash to run it for me automatically. Anyone got a script for that?

How about adding a

screen -A -m -d -S <your screen name> /bin/bash

to your ~/.bashrc ?
