Hi everybody! Since some of you are managing servers remotely, I thought it could be useful to introduce a very useful hacker tool specifically for that usage: *screen*
This tool allows you to create a session independent from your current connexion and thus allowing to not suffer from network interruption. It also allows you to start working from one place (let's say at office) and continue from one another (let's say at home). And finally, it allows you to get multiple shells through one single connexion, which can be very useful if you need to run multiple processes in parallel, eg wget/lftp/rsync downloads. Here are a few hints to let you start quickly: screen # will start a screen session and give you a shell ctrl+a ctrl+d # will detach from the screen current session screen -ls # list all screen sessions screen -d # will remotely detach a session (in case you forgot) screen -r # will re-attach to the last detached screen session And some others also useful: ctrl+a ctrl+c # create a new window (shell) ctrl+a space # switch to the next window (use multiple times to cycle) ctrl+a ctrl+w # display a list of all windows ctrl+a A # give a name to the current window ctrl+a a # send a real ctrl+a to the running process I hope it will be useful to you, and especially for managing virror! ;-) -- Jean Christophe "????"
