+Basic screen command usage and examples

+
+Screen is a very useful command that offers the ability to use multiple shell windows (sessions) from a single SSH session. When the session is detached or there is a network disruption, the process that is started in a screen session will still run and you can re-attach to the screen session at any time. This also comes in handy if you want to run a long process persistently or connect to shell sessions from multiple locations.
+
+In this article, we will show the basics of installing and using screen on a Linux VPS.
+
+### How to install screen
+
+Screen comes preinstalled on some of the popular distributions. You can check if it is installed on your server using the following command
+
+```
+screen -v
+Screen version 4.00.03 (FAU)
+```
+
+If you do not have screen to the VPS, you can easily install it using the package manager provided by the OS.
+
+### [CentOS][4]/RedHat/Fedora
+
+```
+yum -y install screen
+```
+
+### [Ubuntu][5]/[Debian][6]
+
+```
+apt-get -y install screen
+```
+
+### How to start a screen session
+
+You can start screen by typing ‘screen’ at the command prompt and a new screen session will be started which looks the same as the command prompt
+
+```
+screen
+```
+
+It is a good practice to start screen sessions with descriptive names so you can easily remember which process is running in the session. To create a new session with a session name run the following command
+
+```
+screen -S name
+```
+
+and replace ‘name’ with a meaningful name for your session.
+
+### Detach from screen session
+
+To detach from the current screen session you can press ‘Ctrl-A‘ and ‘d‘ on your keyboard. All screen sessions will still be active and you can re-attach to them at any time later.
+
+### Reattach to screen session
+
+If you have detached from a session or your connection is interrupted for some reason, you can easily re-attach by executing the following command:
+
+```
+screen -r
+```
+
+If you have multiple screen sessions you can list them with ‘ls’
+
+```
+screen -ls
+
+There are screens on:
+7880.session    (Detached)
+7934.session2   (Detached)
+7907.session1   (Detached)
+3 Sockets in /var/run/screen/S-root.
+```
+
+In our example, we have three active screen sessions. So, if you want to restore the session ‘session2’ you can execute
+
+```
+screen -r 7934
+```
+
+or you can use the screen name
+
+```
+screen -r -S session2
+```
+
+### Terminate screen session
+
+There are several ways to terminate the screen session. You can do it by pressing ‘Ctrl‘ + ‘d‘ on your keyboard or use the ‘exit’ command line command.
+
+To see all useful features of the screen command you can check screen’s man page.
+
+```
+man screen
+
+NAME
+screen - screen manager with VT100/ANSI terminal emulation
+
+SYNOPSIS
+screen [ -options ] [ cmd [ args ] ]
+screen -r [[pid.]tty[.host]]
+screen -r sessionowner/[[pid.]tty[.host]]
+```
