Like all other processes, the screen session's status is stored in volatile memory. That means when the hardware loses power, the process state vanishes. Nothing you can do inside screen can stop this. What you *can* do is investigate the ACPI sleep status sometimes called "suspend to ram" or "suspend to disk". The former will put your machine into a low-power mode, but still provide power to the volatile memory. The latter, which is probably what you want, writes a copy of the volatile memory to a swap partition, and restores it when you turn the machine back on. This gives you (some) benefits of an always-on machine without the continuous power consumption. _______________________________________________ screen-users mailing list screen-users@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/screen-users
