One more switch to know...

If when you do screen -r to reattach it complains that there aren't
any unattached screens (which will happen if you get disconnected
(e.g. network blip) and then try reconnect relatively quickly), in
that case:

remotehost$ screen -r -d

will force the detaching of your prior screen session and get you back
where you wanna be.

If you're an emacs user and want to remap the control-a to something
else, drop something like this in .screenrc

escape ^Tt

(I map mine to Ctrl-t since Ctrl-a is beginning of line in emacs and
I use it all the time. )


And now, I get to introduce you to new virtual screens. :-)

From inside of screen. Try Ctrl-a c (c for create)

This creates a new shell inside of screen.

To toggle back to the other one, do Ctrl-a n (n for next). Repeat
as desired.

Have fun! I <3 screen.
