As if screen wasn\u2019t cool enough to start with, here\u2019s a little bonus to make your day a wee bit brighter: There\u2019s an -x flag for screen, which the man page and screen\u2019s own –help tips suggest you can use to attach to a screen session that\u2019s not detached. \u201cMulti-user mode,\u201d is what is added in parenthesis.<\/p>\n

It sounds trivial, but at the same time suggests an impending train wreck. The idea of more than one person using a screen session brings to mind words like \u201crace condition\u201d and \u201cwheel war.\u201d And besides, there\u2019s only one keyboard on most computers, so who\u2019s going to want to huddle up next to their friend, and play two sessions of Stone Soup at the same time?<\/p>\n

Yes, in the conventional \u201cone keyboard one user\u201d sense, it doesn\u2019t sound like fun. But try it this way: Get to machines networked, and allow one to access the other with something like ssh. This is the setup I usually have for a music system, which sits on the other side of the house next to the router, and connected to the stereo. See here.<\/p>\n

Now start up screen on the host machine, and keep it running in an open terminal. Then connect remotely and attach to the same screen session with the -x flag. Chances are if you\u2019re in a position to watch both the original session and the remote session at the same time, you can do cool things and both screens will update together.<\/p>\n
