Screen is one of the most useful apps ever if you’re a terminal junkie on multiple machines (screen -x
is your friend). Here’s a little tip so that you don’t end up with dozens of numbered screen sessions. When creating screens, name them for their purposes, like, screen -S bt
. Then you can easily screen -x bt
.
If you’re lazy like me, you can further shorten that with aliases (I use ss
and sx
).
