Not holding that against you, but not like I just suggested the command, and said go read the man page to figure out usage. I did pretty much provide the exact command, copy, paste and run. Not to mention an initial init script :) > Now I do. It's now on my list of 'handy Linux apps.' ;) Yes its one of those very useful and powerful apps, thats in wide use, popular amongst some circles/groups. But completely unknown to others. I think I have been using screen for 2-3 years now. I came across it during my Gentoo Developer years. Long after I had been using Linux. Though screen has been around for a very long time! Most common for Gentoo or other devs who are frequently on IRC to run a IRC chat client in a screen session on a server. That way no matter what machine they are on, etc, always have access. Also provides for ridiculous log in times ;) -- William L.
