'''Screen''' usually does not exist | '''Screen''' usually does not exist; this <s>is the committee's</s> was a former committee's general position on screen due to the disastrous and/or hilarious situations which often result from new members' attempts to get it working. However, for the purpose of this tutorial, screen '''does''' exist, and this is how you use it. (Blame coconut for this defiance.) | ||

=== 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 ~/.zlogin if you're using zsh (if you haven't changed your login shell, this is the one you're using) or ~/.bash_login if you're using bash and put the following in it | |||
screen -dr | |||
That should do the job. It'll try to reattach a screen whenever you login on any redbrick server | |||
* Please note, if this in fact, does not work, you can edit it out by using winSCP and editing the file using it. | |||
