Linux Screen Command: View Past Sessions
In Linux, you can use the following command to view past screens:
- Utilize the screen command:
- Firstly, install the screen command. If it is not already installed, use the package manager for your Linux distribution to install it.
- Execute the ‘screen’ command to start a new session.
- Perform any action you want on the screen.
- To exit the screen session, you can press Ctrl + A, then press d.
- To reconnect to a previous screen session, you can run the command screen -r.
- Use the tmux command:
- Firstly, install the tmux command. If it is not yet installed, use the package manager suitable for your Linux distribution to install it.
- Run the tmux command to start a new session.
- Perform any action you want on the screen.
- To exit a screen session, you can press Ctrl + B and then press d.
- To reconnect to a previous screen session, you can use the command tmux attach.
Both methods allow you to keep the screen session active after you disconnect, so you can reconnect and view past screen content.
