## screen help With screen you can log in to a server and stay virtually logged in even when you shut down your computer. You can also go to another computer, re-login to the server and resume the same terminal session. Starting screen First connect to ocean (ssh user@ocean.stanford.edu). After you are logged in type 'screen' (no quotes, it if complains about a terminal or something, set terminal to vt100, by typing 'setenv TERM vt100'). Detaching/restarting screen If you want log out of ocean, or close down your computer, but still keep the terminal session running, you have to detach it. This is different then exiting screen. If you exit screen, by typing exit, you lose that session. To detach it, type Ctrl-a Ctrl-d (most commands in screen start with Ctrl-a, this overrides the Ctrl-a command normally used when you want to jump to the start of a line). To reconnect to it, type 'screen -r'. More info... - You can have more then one 'window' in one screen session. New window: Ctrl-a Ctrl-c. - Switch back to the last window you were: Ctrl-a Ctrl-a. - Switch to the next window: Ctrl-a Ctrl-n - All windows are numbered. Type Ctrl-a Ctrl-w to see a list. The one with a \* is the current one. To switch to eg. window 3, type Ctrl-a 3. - To delete a window: Ctrl-a Ctrl-k. - Log the session to a file: Ctrl-a H Use a custom name: Ctrl-a : Type: logfile newlogfilename - Many more commands... see '[man screen](http://www.hmug.org/man/1/screen.php)' - You can also have more screen sessions. From another terminal window (not inside screen) type screen again. To see a list of screen session: screen -list. It will also show if they are attached (open somewhere) or detached. You can only reconnect to detached screen sessions. If more then one screen session, type 'screen -r screenname' (where screenname is something like: 4707.pts-14.ocean). If you want to reconnect to a screen that is attached somewhere, you can force it to detach and then reconnect by typing: 'screen -D -r screenname'. You can also set the screen name to something more userfriendly with the '-S' option. Example: start screen as 'screen -S model1'. You can reconnect to is with 'screen -r model1'. Again see the man pages for more options. - Tip: you can use the screen window number as a variable. Handy if running a script for a range of years in multiple screen windows, eg: let year=1998+\$WINDOW ; idl -e "proj\_ice\_cdr, year='\$year', nrt=0, anystr='so\_40S\_4km', tres='DAY'" -or- idl -e "proj\_ice\_cdr, year='\$((\$WINDOW+1998))', nrt=0, anystr='so\_40S\_4km', tres='DAY'"
