Hmmm, difficult to debug. The best would be to have a key logger to see what keystrokes you type and then work out what screen is actually trying to do. I like screen but it does not work well with bash in emacs mode using the standard key bindings. Try Ctrl+a " to get a list of windows if it freezes up again. It could also be the bash session itself that freezes up. I know it can do that but I can't for the life of me remember what the shortcut was to freeze or unfreeze it. Not a very helpful reply, I share your pain. :-) Regards > -----Original Message----- > From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list- > bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Kenneth Holter > Sent: 07 May 2008 16:06 > To: redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Shell hangs when using "screen" and "emacs" > > Hi. > > I log onto your servers using SSH, and typically run emacs within a > screen session.
