BigAdmin Feature Article: Installing and Using GNU Screen Screen, GNU's terminal-based windowing system, allows the sysadmin to reconnect to a running shell on a remote system so that poor network connectivity won't result in the loss of the session. Screen is generally run from an xterm or a directly attached serial terminal. Screen sessions can also be detached from outside the screen session, which is useful for stealing a session after changing physical locations. www.sun.com /bigadmin/features/articles/gnu_screen.html   (1903 words)

GNU Screen GNU Screen was created in 1987, it was meant to provide a ``window manager'' to those users who didn't even have windows. Screen should enable users to connect to their office computer via telephone modem from home and then re-attach to the command they started when they were still in the office. GNU Screen was started in 1987 by Oliver Laumann is still used and maintained to this day by Jeurgen Weigert and Michael Schroeder at the University of Erlangen. churchturing.org /w/screen   (3095 words)

[No title] Screen versions up to 3.6.2 would only dare to use the alternate charset on terminals having the boolean capability :G0: in their termcap entry. When screen is started or reattached, it relies on the TERM environment variable to correctly reflect the terminal type you have physically in front of you. screen is very picky and even if the entry was good enough for your application to drive the terminal directly, screen may find flaws, as it tries to do speed optimizing. www4.informatik.uni-erlangen.de /~jnweiger/screen-faq.html   (3505 words)

GNU Screen - Jonathan McPherson Screen remembers a configurable number of scrollback lines, and you'll need them because you won't be able to use your terminal emulator's scroll features while running screen. Screen is also capable of logging to files, but that's beyond the scope of this tutorial. One of the disadvantages of running a bunch of programs within screen is that you can't keep an eye on all of them at the same time, since in general you can only see one at once. jmcpherson.org /screen.html   (1114 words)

GNU Screen - Summary [Savannah] Screen is a full-screen window manager that multiplexes a physical terminal between several processes, typically interactive shells. When screen is called, it creates a single window with a shell in it (or the specified command) and then gets out of your way so that you can use the program as you normally would. Programs continue to run when their window is currently not visible and even when the whole screen session is detached from the users terminal. savannah.gnu.org /projects/screen   (289 words)

SCREEN If all you've got is a "true" auto-margin terminal screen will be content to use it, but updating a character put into the last position on the screen may not be possible until the screen scrolls or the character is moved into a safe position in some other way. This moves one to the middle line of the screen, moves in 20 columns left, marks the beginning of the paste buffer, sets the left column, moves 5 columns down, sets the right column, and then marks the end of the paste buffer. Finally, screen has a shell-specific heuristic that is enabled by setting the window's name to "searchname" and arranging to have a null title escape-sequence output as a part of your prompt. www.linuxmanpages.com /man1/screen.1.php   (16328 words)

CVE-2003-0972: Integer signedness error in ansi.c for GNU screen 4.0.1 and earlier, and 3.9.15 and earlier, allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a large number of ; (semicolon) characters in escape sequences, which leads to a buffer overflow. xforce.iss.net /xforce/xfdb/13857   (444 words)

TIP Using screen - Gentoo Linux Wiki GNU Screen enables you to run many shell processes in a single terminal. Screen can also be told to open several terminals at startup, and even assign more meaningful names to those terminals in e.g. Use screen -S foo to create a session with the name foo and screen -r foo to re-connect to the session with the name foo. gentoo-wiki.com /TIP_Using_screen   (2979 words)

Tutorial: Use GNU Screen (in UNIX)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13) Screen is a console-based window manager - it lets you create multiple windows to do multiple things at once. One of the better known advantages to using screen is that you can "detach" from your work, log out of the machine, log back in later (from another computer if you'd like), and "re-attach" - your work will still be there running as if you've been logged in the whole time. Screen is distributed under the GNU General Public License, and as such may be freely modified and even redistributed, provided any modifications are made public. cosmic.homeunix.net /blog/old/00000018.html   (1316 words)

[os] GNU screen   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13) The most useful feature of screen, perhaps, is the ability to idle on your favorite IRC channel 24/7/365. Monitoring log windows is done with ^A-M. Then, screen will alert you whenever there is activity in that window, regardless of what window you are currently viewing. To input a screen command by text (rather than by keystroke), press ^A-: and then type the command press enter. copland.udel.edu /~os/screen.html   (668 words)

GNU screen (multiplexor)   (Site not responding.

Screen is mapping control codes from one terminal type to another. The problem depends on the termcap capabilities for the terminal type that you are using outside screen, the capabilities for the terminal type that is emulated inside screen, and on the version of screen. www.ocf.berkeley.edu /~mgelbaum/docs/UNIX/GNU-screen-multiplexor.html   (1498 words)

FreshPorts -- misc/screen Set NO_PACKAGE; screen tends to go into a loop using all available CPU when used from the package. As I've assigned the three screen PR's in GNATS to myself, it appears that I'm taking on maintainership of this port. It may still be a problem, but it looks like screen was already dropping privilege before the operation in question. www.freshports.org /misc/screen   (516 words)

freshmeat.net: Themes - The Antidesktop I also live in screen, I often have dozens of windows open in my screen session, and I attach it at work and friends places constantly (I use screen -x so it is open in both places at the same time). Screen is great, no doubt, and ratpoison is nice, too, but my favourite setup is amiwm with two high-res monitors in a multihead setup. I usually keep a browser open on the right screen, and a couple of xterms on the left one; up to 6 fit on the screen without any overlap at all, and there still is enough space for gkrellm, gqmpeg and a few other tools; everything else I use usually runs in an xterm, anyway. freshmeat.net /articles/view/581   (9719 words)

An introduction to GNU screen - LinuxWorld If you want to use desktop real estate more efficiently or if you ever find yourself without the X Window System yet needing more than one terminal, the popular GNU screen utility may be the perfect solution.

GNU screen command The GNU screen command, which is included in Mac OSX and linux, allows powerful virtual sessions. screen can do this too (and much more, but that goes without saying)...

Increase Your Linux/Unix Productivity With GNU/Screen | Ayman Hourieh's Blog screen is one of my favorite GNU utilities; it provides a quick and easy way to have several open terminals and do multiple things at once.
