Hello Ian Thanks a lot for your annotations. Very much appreciated! I will consider reediting the article to add them.

Well. It is somehow helpful here at work, as I just have to create a oneliner in my shell to output the data I want to track. Then I start screen-graph in a loop and have on-the-fly informationen about progress on one of my screen windows. Sure. You could just output the text to an file and pass that to gnuplot. I find it very comfortable to just output the data somewhere without cluttering my home directory with temporary files I myself have to remember to delete. Another bonus is the backbuffer of screen. It has a given length. So I can just left the data-gathering running. I will always see the last x numbers in my graph. Using detaching I can easily let the data-gathering running for days. > > I am right now thinking about writing a small tutorial about the > > multiuser-capabilities of screen, as they also are not very widely > > known, me thinks. > My friends and I are very interested in exploring > multiuser-capabilities; the ACLs seem to be the barrier to entry for us. Yes. The ACLs are particulary hard to understand. I will have to look if I myself really have groked the functionality.
