I want to run and check on apps (like rtorrent) running on server via ssh. I'd prefer not to use background/foreground stuff. What I really want to do is have a screen session on this server all the time and attach/detach/reattach remotely, but I'm not sure how to do that.
Anyone have any ideas?
Here's a quick rundown, but a screen tutorial will get you farther:
'screen' invokes it, and you use ctrl-a then d to disconnect (and leave it running)
'screen -ls' lists open sessions
'screen -r' connects to a disconnected session.
'screen -x' connects to an active session (if you want to run two terminals at once)
Here's a screen tutorial:
