Screen Basics

This page is a collection of resources and notes we’ve taken over the years.

SCREEN

screen = creates new session

screen -S name_of_session (start a screen session with specific name)

ctrl + A + D = detaches screen

screen -r = reattaches if there’s just one (i think)

screen -r #### (enough to be uniq) = reattaches specific screen

screen -list or -ls (shows which screens are running

screen -dr (detach and reattach)

launch screen from remote server!!!! ie ssh into workstation (which won’t log off) and then ssh into remote server (compute canada) from there (a little more detailed info wouldnt hurt)
