We aren't using it yet, but are working on it.
For us, screen will be used primarily by operators for long-running
processes, so we have to deal with the fact that the person who started a
job may not be around to check on it until it completes. We expect to
address this by setting up a shared userid. Operators will login as
themselves then 'sudo su' to the shared userid. Since screen attempts to
connect to the port that is already being used by the operators id, the
operators will run ssh under the shared id and then kick off screen. If
anyone has any other ideas on how to address port contention, I'd be
interested.
This approach allows anyone with 'sudo su' to the shared id to monitor the
jobs. Using sudo helps address security concerns inherent in shared ids.
