I'm using GNU screen on Ubuntu 12.04. I want to create a screen session named "test":
and then create some screen tabs. On each task, i do some work such as edit a text file, or something else.

In a situation, i have to shutdown my PC, and then return to work in tomorrow. So, i need to save screen session ("test") to disk, and load this session again.

Could you help me?

Thanks!

It does not work that way. "Screen" is used to leave running programs when you can logout, but not turn off computer. So it is most useful on remote computer, a server, which is working all the time. Then you can connect to it from your own computer, establish screen session, logout and turn off your own computer.

If you want that behavior, then every program need to known how to store own session (opened files, their state, row where was cursor, etc.), for example some of application from KDE can do it and KDE has own session manager, when you save session (can be automatically when shutdown), you can restore it any time.

Other methods are hibernation and sleep mode. First store your whole machine state, and restore it after power on, but there can be some hardware issues, which prevent use it, and you can only store one session, and cannot change some computer components in meantime. Latter additionally need be connected to power source or UPS, it need small power to sustain machine state.

Oh, thank you so much!
