=== Reattaching Screen Automatically === | |||
So, you've made your screen, configured it, and you happily type screen -dr '''every time''' you login to RedBrick. But wouldn't it be nice if whenever you login your screen would reattach '''itself'''??? It can be done :D | |||
Simply use your favorite text editor to edit your ~/.zshrc (or ~/.[name_of_shell]rc) and paste the following code into it. | |||
if [ -z "$STY" -a $TERM != "screen" ] | |||
then | |||
exec screen -dr | |||
fi | |||
That should do the job. However make sure to keep the spaces between the if statement, the brackets and the inside of the if statement (or it won't work). | |||
In particular | |||
$TERM != "screen" | |||
is very important for that code segment to work, otherwise when connecting to another server (Carbon for instance), your shell will try to attach a screen session, fail and disconnect leaving you on the server you tried to connect from (Really quite annoying). | |||
