Yes, but this assumes that I'm at the local console. I almost never am. When I am, I only have to use the Alt-right arrow to get to another VT. That doesn't work with ssh which is usually how I connect. I use ssh over the LAN. I just want one press of ^d to log me out instead of two. As it is now, if I su to root,I have to press ^d four times. The first exits my root shell, the second exits Screen, the third logs me out and the fourth closes my Cygwin bash shell. There must be a quicker and easier way. On 3/31/2013 9:14 PM, Devon Stewart wrote: > I did this a while back.
