Screen Configuration

screen rocks!

Integration into SSH

If you want to resume a remotely running screen session you have to call ssh with the option -t. This forces creation of a pseudo-tty. 

% ssh -t host.domain.tld screen -RR

or: 

% ssh -t host.domain.tld screen

respectively.

Sample Configuration

# copied from termcapinfos for xterm,
# enables (bad) scrolling with Eterm
termcapinfo Eterm ti@:te=\E[2J]

# hardstatus in the window title
# using this allows also PROMPT_COMMAND to work as expected
termcapinfo Eterm 'hs:ts=\E]2;:fs=\007:ds=\E]2;screen\007'

# screensaver
#idle 120 blanker

# statusbar
