screen.MD

run the process without stop after exit terminal

  1. install GNU screen: apt-get update apt-get upgrade apt-get install screen

  2. type "screen". this will open up a new screen - kind of similar in look & feel to what "clear" would result in.

  3. run the process (e.g.: ./init-dev.sh to fire up a ChicagoBoss erlang server)

  4. type: Ctrl + A, and then Ctrl + D. This will detach your screen session but leave your processes running!

  5. feel free to close the SSH terminal. whenever you feel like it, ssh back into your GCE VM, and type screen -r to resume your previously detached session.

  6. to kill all detached screens, run: screen -ls | grep pts | cut -d. -f1 | awk '{print $1}' | xargs kill
