Hi!
I was wondering if somebody could help me with the 'screen' command. For example, what does it do and how does it work (simply)?
I tried reading the man page but it's like 20 pages long and there are so many options. What I want to do is use 'screen' to run a program in the background, log off the server or shut my computer down, and when I come back or login to the server, I can pickup where I left off. Is it possible with this?
Thanks for your help!
