Permanent SSH session (like VNC, but text)
Hello.. very often I use VNC connection to my server to then use.. the console ! :-(
I'm wander if exist a way to achieve a permanent console session trough SSH. As a "permanent console session" I mean a session that is started on the server and it runs independently from having a client attached. So I can start a program, disconnect, and when I connect it back I am attached to the terminal again and see the progress of my program... I know of nohup, but I would lost the interactivity... Any suggestion?? |
screen. You need screen. The most underrated, awesome, shell app ever made.
Quick start guide: Type 'screen' to start a new session. C-a c to create a new shell. C-a n and C-a p to go to next and previous shells. C-a " to see a list of shells. C-a d to detach a screen session. 'screen -r' the next time you want to reattach to that session. |
I saw the man pages is 2840 rows.. :study:
However.. what C-a c stand for ?? When I type screen I got a page which end with "type return or space to close" what should I do from there ?? |
"C-a c" means "hit Ctrl+A, and then hit C." All screen commands begin with Ctrl+A, followed by another key.
One of the (many) reasons screen is awesome is because you can detach a screen, disconnect from the server entirely, and it'll still be there whenever you come back. All you have to do is reattach it. Here are a couple good tutorials: http://www.linuxhacks.org/tutorials/...n_tutorial.php http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2004/3/9/16838/14935 |
