10 minutes? Really? I've found screen to have a huge learning curve. From inside screen, I have to keep looking up what the hotkeys are, and I can never remember the exact Control-A hotkey I'm after to operate it. Imagine teaching an entire class how to use screen, before you can even begin to touch on your real lesson material!
If anyone else is struggling with screen, I recommend launchpad.net/byobu, for a more humane/learnable/menu-based multiplexing program
- rglullis 17y agoI'm not saying you can be proficient with screen in 10 minutes. Far from it. What I did say is that, if I were somebody who wanted to teach and share a session with someone, I would put a page with the following instructions to Joe: 1) open a terminal 2) ssh joe.student@teacherserver.net 2.a) your password is "PASSWORD_FOR_JOE" 3) screen -x joe.session What else does the student need to do, besides having a ssh client?
