Second part to reconnect to your screen
using the PuTTY shortcut above, get reconnected to your Linux box
create a new file called screens (chmod 755) and run ./screens and choose the number of the screen you want to attach to.
#!/bin/bash
# filters the screen -ls output to show the sesssions
sessions=`screen -ls | sed -ne 's/[[:space:]]//' -ne 's/\((Attached)\|(Detached)\)// p'`
res=`echo "$sessions" | wc -w`
if (( $res == 0 ))
then
echo " No existing SCREEN session to reattach to..."
exit
fi
echo ''
echo " CURRENT SESSIONS"
echo " ------------------------"
#screen -ls | sed -ne 's/[[:space:]]//' -ne 's/\((Attached)\|(Detached)\)// p' | cat -n
echo "$sessions" | cat -n
echo " ------------------------"
echo ''
#if first argument is not specified, script will ask for number of screen
if [ -z $1 ]
then
echo -n " Reattach to session: "
read session
else
session=$1
fi
#attach to specified session
linenum=0
name=`screen -ls | sed -ne 's/[[:space:]]//' -ne 's/\((Attached)\|(Detached)\)// p' |
while read line
do
let "linenum += 1"
if [[ "$linenum" -eq "$session" ]]
then
echo $line
break
fi
done`
if [[ "$name" != "" ]]
then
screen -d -r "$name"
else
echo " Could not reattach to '$session'"
fi
