When you connect from antoher machine, what command do you type? It should be: screen -r -x That forces a reconnect, even if someone else is already connected. On a side note: this is a nice way to collaborate on some work between a few people who are not at the same physical location. Everyone SSH's in to a machine, one person runs screen, the others run screen -r -x. you are now all staring at the same terminal and can all work together. Handy for teaching people. Cheers, Mike
Ah ok, the tutorial I had read said screen -R upon reconnecting. I will try your way and test it further. Good note for the shared sessions too! Dustin _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
