Screen

Screen or GNU Screen is a terminal multiplexer. In other words, it means that you can start a screen session and then open any number of windows (virtual terminals) inside that session. Processes running in Screen will continue to run when their window is not visible even if you get disconnected.

Usage

Start a Named Session

screen -S <session_name>

List all Sessions

screen -list
4397.<session_name> (04/27/2023 12:23:08 AM) (Attached)

Detach from Screen Session

Ctrl+a then type d

List all Sessions again

screen -list
4397.<session_name> (04/27/2023 12:23:08 AM) (Detached)

Re-attach Screen Session

screen -r 4397.<session_name>

Kill the Screen Session

Ctrl+a then type :quit
