Installation
Change apt to the package manager you want to use.
$ apt install screenUsage
Run script in a ‘screen’
$ screen ./scriptName.shList screens
$ screen -lsResume a screen session
One session running
$ screen -rMultiple sessions running
If you have multiple screen sessions running, you have to list them first to get their ids:
$ screen -ls
There are screens on:
784.pts-1.108124a2ab91 (10/05/20 19:18:54) (Detached)
622.pts-1.108124a2ab91 (10/05/20 18:56:33) (Detached)
1024.secretStuff (01/05/53 00:00:00) (Detached)Then you can resume a session by using its ID (the first number before the . or name of the session):
$ screen -r 784In my case, I could have replaced 784 in the command above with 622, 1024 or secretStuff.
Exit a screen
