Introduction to Screen

Screen provides you with an ANSI/vt100 terminal emulator, which can multiplex up to 10 pseudo-terminals. On startup, it executes $SHELL in window 0. Then it reads ~/.screenrc to learn configuration, keybindings, and possibly open more windows.

Dependencies

Optional

• Linux-PAM

Non-Multilib

Compile the package:

./configure --prefix=/usr \
    --with-socket-dir=/var/run/screen \
    --with-sys-screenrc=/etc/screenrc &&
sed -i "s%/usr/local/etc/screenrc%/etc/screenrc%" {etc,doc}/* &&
make

Install the package

make install

Command Explanations

--with-socket-dir=/var/run/screen: This option places the per-user sockets in a standard location.

--with-sys-screenrc=/etc/screenrc: This option places the global screenrc file in /etc.

sed -i -e "s%/usr/local/etc/screenrc%/etc/screenrc%" {etc,doc}/*: This command corrects the configuration and documentation files to the location that is used here for the global screenrc file.
