Basics
- Start a screen session (creates a single window with a shell in it):

- OR start a linux command in a screen session:
screen

Basics screen commands are :
C-a C-c : Create a new window with a shell and switch to that window. C-a " : Present a list of all windows for selection. C-a A : Allow the user to enter a name for the current window. C-a C-k : Kill current window
Further options are available in the man pages.
- Detach from this screen terminal (program continues to run when its associated screen session is detached):
C-a d : Detach screen from this terminal.
- Reattach a session (brings foreground a previously detached session):
screen
-r
