screen
is a screen manager with VT100/ANSI terminal emulation. It is the older brother of tmux
, which shares quite the same concepts.
Basics
- Start a screen session (creates a single window with a shell in it):
screen
- OR start a linux command in a screen session:
screen
<linux command>
- Invoke a screen control command (it consists of a "Ctrl + a" followed by one other character):
C-a <command_char>
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
- Invoke a screen customization command (used to set options):
C-a : <customization_command>
