Starting Named Session

Named sessions are useful when you run multiple screen sessions. To create a named session, run the screen command with the following arguments:

screen -S session_name

It’s always a good idea to choose a descriptive session name.
Working with Linux Screen Windows

When you start a new screen session, it creates a single window with a shell in it.

You can have multiple windows inside a Screen session.

To create a new window with shell type Ctrl+a c, the first available number from the range 0...9 will be assigned to it.

Below are some most common commands for managing Linux Screen Windows:

    Ctrl+a c Create a new window (with shell)
    Ctrl+a " List all window
    Ctrl+a 0 Switch to window 0 (by number )
    Ctrl+a A Rename the current window
    Ctrl+a S Split current region horizontally into two regions
    Ctrl+a | Split current region vertically into two regions
    Ctrl+a tab Switch the input focus to the next region
    Ctrl+a Ctrl+a Toggle between the current and previous region
    Ctrl+a Q Close all regions but the current one
    Ctrl+a X Close the current region

Detach from Linux Screen Session

You can detach from the screen session at any time by typing:

Ctrl+a d

The program running in the screen session will continue to run after you detach from the session.
Reattach to a Linux Screen

To resume your screen session use the following command:

screen -r

In case you have multiple screen sessions running on your machine, you will need to append the screen session ID after the r switch.

To find the session ID list the current running screen sessions with:

screen -ls

There are screens on:
    10835.pts-0.linuxize-desktop   (Detached)
    10366.pts-0.linuxize-desktop   (Detached)
2 Sockets in /run/screens/S-linuxize.

If you want to restore screen 10835.pts-0, then type the following command:

screen -r 10835
