With screen, you are able to run multiple session instances from a single terminal session. Let&#8217;s go over some useful screen commands in Linux and explain how this versatile tool works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>Screen also allows you to close and exit from the terminal session and reconnect later and resume your work. You can continue to work from where you left it, even after logging out from the terminal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this article, we will show you some useful examples of screen commands in Linux. By the end of this article, you will understand and be able to work with multiple screen sessions using a single terminal session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_65 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-transparent ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-663de2762d710\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"ez-toc-cssicon\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-663de2762d710\"  aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/screen-commands-in-linux-with-examples\/#Prerequisites\" title=\"Prerequisites\">Prerequisites<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/screen-commands-in-linux-with-examples\/#What-is-the-%E2%80%9Cscreen%E2%80%9D-command\" title=\"What is the &#8220;screen&#8221; command?\">What is the &#8220;screen&#8221; command?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/screen-commands-in-linux-with-examples\/#How-to-Install-Screen\" title=\"How to Install Screen\">How to Install Screen<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/screen-commands-in-linux-with-examples\/#Screen-Syntax\" title=\"Screen Syntax\">Screen Syntax<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/screen-commands-in-linux-with-examples\/#Command-Options\" title=\"Command Options\">Command Options<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/screen-commands-in-linux-with-examples\/#Shortcut-key\" title=\"Shortcut key\">Shortcut key<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/screen-commands-in-linux-with-examples\/#Example\" title=\"Example\">Example<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Prerequisites\"><\/span>Prerequisites<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>A Linux VPS with any common Linux distribution<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>root SSH access or a regular user with sudo privileges<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What-is-the-%E2%80%9Cscreen%E2%80%9D-command\"><\/span>What is the &#8220;screen&#8221; command?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In a Linux machine, the screen command enables us to start and use more than one terminal session from a single SSH session. The process can be detached through the session, and we can resume the session at a later time if the process starts with the screen command.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>GNU screen or just screen is a tool to multiplex a terminal or shell. With this tool, we can also start any screen session then open several windows in that session. The processes that are executed will continue running within a screen session even when it is detached. This also includes getting disconnected from the terminal session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Upon invoking the &#8220;screen&#8221; command, a singular window containing a shell (or the designated command) is generated, allowing for uninterrupted use of the program. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Subsequently, additional full-screen windows can be created at any time, each with its own program (including shells). Existing windows can be terminated, a list of windows can be viewed, output logging can be enabled or disabled, text can be copied and pasted between windows, scrollback history can be accessed, and windows can be switched between in any desired manner. This is one flexible program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each window operates independently of the others, with programs continuing to run even when their respective windows are not visible or when the entire screen session is detached from the user&#8217;s terminal. Upon a program&#8217;s termination, screen (by default) terminates the window in which it was contained. If this window is in the foreground, the display will switch to the previous window; if no windows remain, screen will exit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How-to-Install-Screen\"><\/span>How to Install Screen<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Screen is usually installed by default on Linux machines.
