Print: $19.95 screen is a terminal multiplexor or a virtual terminal manager: it provides for multiple terminal screens from wherever you are - and allows you to put your terminals into the background in order to pick up later, right where you left off.
This is a comprehensive introduction covering virtually everything in the GNU Screen Manual, as well as explaining things clearly and completely.

Print: $8.99 screen is a virtual terminal manager, which provides the UNIX and Linux console user with the ability to have multiple windows no matter where he or she might be. screen also allows detached operations, where a terminal session can be put in the background and picked up later from another location.

David's Blog - UNIX and Linux System Administration
2007 May 01  | | The book is completely written, but combining the two different parts is turning out to be quite difficult. The combining is not a problem, but Lulu refuses to accept any of the combined files. Even when Lulu performs the combining, it does not work. The main problem is the second half, which is generated using groff and ghostscript; I hope to resolve this soon! In the meantime, here is a preview - including the table of contents and the preface. I expect I'll put this into the book's page when complete. |
submarginal-territorial2007 Jan 10 I'm only just now getting back after losing my main system (an Apple PowerPC-based Mac Mini) after it stopped booting. Fortunately, I was able to save the data by booting into the Apple Mac OS X disk and using the Terminal application to copy all of the important data over to my backup disk (which was slightly out of date). While the system wouldn't boot off of hard drive, the drive itself was fine. Strange, though, that I couldn't use the 20G free space I had reserved earlier for Linux on PowerPC (and never used). It was unused and unpartitioned, but the Mac OS X Disk Utility insisted on wiping everything clean (instead of just adding a new partition...). Sigh. At least I got a fresh install of Mac OS X Panther (upgraded to Tiger) out of it. Without that backup, and a list of (almost) all of my registration IDs and numbers and codes, I'd've been much worse off. The LaTeX code for the books was one thing that could have been lost (yow!). Now they're backed up, and I can get back to finishing the GNU Screen: A Comprehensive Introduction book. Yes, it's nearing completion. I hope to have it done in the next few weeks. 2006 Dec 01 The GNU Screen User's Manual was updated today. The updated version is taken directly from screen development at Savannah. This new version documents all of the screen commands (except Braille support) and has undergone a thorough copyediting process.
The upcoming book, GNU Screen: A Comprehensive Introduction covers virtually all of the commands, including Braille support. The new book also clarifies many things that are confusing in the standard documentation, including the different commands for using registers and the different commands to set the terminal's hard status line.
The new book continues nearing completion; all chapters are in and the text is being finalized. Look for it soon!
