I've been a happy screen user for over 4 years and I use it daily on my desktop computer or while developing on a remote server. I found I needed only one feature more:
--- the ability to resume sessions after a reboot --- What I mean by this is a way for screen to retain the last place it visited in each window, which file it edited and the commands history. I think this is the ultimate feature screen needs. Some usage examples (from my workplace): - I have screen on a development server with 6 windows W1: build window (creates an iso from some package sources) W2: package1: vim program.c / other programs W3: package1: vim Makefile; make program W4: chroot: ./program W5: tcpdump check program traffic W6: burn iso to cd I created my screenrc to bring me to these folders whenever I run screen but after a crash/reboot I loose all my commands, I must figure out which file I edited last and I have to think about where I was and what I was doing. A simple option that can save all this information would turn screen into every developer's dream. Thanks for listening and I hope this feature will be implemented. PS: Please CC me the answer as I'm not on your list. _______________________________________________ screen-devel mailing list screen-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/screen-devel
