iScreen

[Lee Harris_5]

Anyone heard of an application called GNU Screen or iScreen? We use it on some of our HP boxes. It is a little like TSM, as in it allows you to have multiple sessions running on one telnet connection.

For example in TSM, you can switch between different sessions using CTRL+W+[1-9] for example.

However, iScreen is slightly different. You create a new session using the command 'screen -S [session-name]' and create extra sessions using CTRL+A C. It then allows you to switch between sessions using CTRL+A SPACE for example. The great advantage of iScreen over TSM is that the sessions you create stay present on the system until you close them. So for example, you could execute some long winded command, then lose your network connection, but once logged back on, you could reconnect the Screen session and pickup where you left off...which comes in handy.

The reason I ask is, that it appears that this application (screen) only works for VT100 emulation really. I want to know if anyone knows of a version or a similar app which will work with WYSE-60 emulation?

Many Thanks - Lee
