For our 2012-07-17 meeting BALUG is proud to present:
screen(1), presented by Michael Paoli
screen(1) is a highly useful and quite versitile utility, considered "essential" by many or most Linux systems administrators, and also often heavily utilized by many other Linux users. Most notably, screen(1) is a terminal session manager, allowing one to create, manage, detatch from, and reattach to terminal sessions. But screen(1) has a very rich feature set, allowing one to do numerous related useful things, e.g. copy/paste from independent scrollback buffers, title and retitle screen(1) sessions and terminal window sessions within screen(1), monitor window sessions for (in)activity and report on window activity, can be set to work with multiple users for read-only or read-write sharing of terminal sessions, and is highly configurable, to name but a few of its numerous features and capabilities.
Michael Paoli has been using screen(1) for about a dozen or more years. He's been doing Linux systems administration for over 14 years, and has professionally been working in Linux/Unix systems administration in excess of two decades, and has worked with Unix since long before than all that.
