Hi Cheng, To use multiple screen sessions, I run a main screen session that inside contains windows running other screen sessions. For example: * main session - window 1: misc session - window 2: coding session - window 3: ssh session And then each nested session has their own set of windows: * misc session - window 1: bash - window 2: etc * coding session - window 1: vim file1 - window 2: make * ssh session - window 1: ssh server1 - window 2: ssh server2 The main session has Ctrl+S as the screen command key (instead of Ctrl+A). That way I control either the main session or any of the other sessions by using Ctrl+S or Ctrl+A respectively. The "Ctrl+S 1" sequence would take me to the misc session, for example. I run the main session with something like: screen -e ^Ss -S main_session And on the shell that pops up I run my other sessions (each on their own window): screen -t misc_session screen -mS misc_session screen -t coding_session screen -mS coding_session screen -t ssh_session screen -mS ssh_session Hope this helps, Gerald Young _______________________________________________ screen-users mailing list screen-users@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/screen-users
