A bedrock of the unix toolset
by greyed
Screen is one of those unique tools which you don't know you'll need it until you use it. Screen does for terminal sessions what VNC/PCAnywhere/RDC/RAdmin does for the GUI. Difference is screen was around first. Multiple connections into a single TTY, detaching from the TTY and attaching from another location, multiple virtual TTYs from a single physical TTY, multiple TTYs on a split screen, all possible with Screen. This simply is a tool every terminal jockey must be familiar with even if they do not use it on a daily basis.
