Screen shares sessions too. It's cool. -x Attach to a not detached screen session. (Multi display mode). I've used it a lot. I may just switch to tmux though for this VERY critical reason. Try searching for information about "screen" and you'll get very little in the way of useful help. :-) (laptops screens, window screens, screen doors....) I'm hoping tmux serves me better in this regard. :-) BTW I haven't heard byobu mentioned yet wrt screen. https://launchpad.net/byobu (yes there are rpms too) -- Gerry Skerbitz gsker at skerbitz.org
