I find using screen even more comfortable. You can easily have several sessions open and switch between them and keep being logged in as root. It works well with SSH access too.
Alright, looks like I have to add a few tools to my tool box. With regard to screen, what advantages does it have over running konsole with multiple sessions? I've looked at the man page, but can't figure out what the advantage would be over multiple tabs in konsole and using shift+rt or shift+lt arrows to move between screens. Marcin, what are your thoughts?
With screen you can easily attach and detach from the session and continue it being connected remotely so it is easy to start some task in the terminal window on my machine and the continue when I am away. Screen can give you the same "tabs" though presented as a list (Ctrl+A + ") and you can name them too. Switching is easy using (Ctrl+A + n) so you can go directly from window 2 to window 5 :-) -- Marcin Floryan http://marcin.floryan.pl/ Please consider the environment before printing this email. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
