Yet another example is the screen utility. This gem lets you create, destroy and switch between multiple terminal sessions in the same terminal...
Here are my instructions for Ubuntu.
- Install screen (apt-get install screen)
- Run screen
- Here are the first commands you'll need:
- Control-A c (creates a new window)
- Control-A " (that's a quote, shows the Window list and allows you to switch)
- Control-A ? (invoke help, though it didn't help me)
- Control-A # (where # is the window you want to switch to)
- type exit in any of the windows to close it.
This is the best thing I've learned since Ciro showed me Midnight Commander.
