“On UNIX, GNU Screen is a utility that i cannot live without. I
know many console users share the same point of view with me.“What is GNU Screen? it is a terminal multiplexer and you can
run multiple console-based applications simultaneously. The best
part of it is that you can leave it running on remote machines and
come back to pick up your console sessions. It’s like VNC or Remote
Desktop but for UNIX console. As you know that on UNIX if you run
something on a shell and you got disconnected from it then your
sessions will also stop. All work will be gone.”
