Because the internet in the Crown building is as good as… well my parents 19.2K dialup - which drops pretty much every 5 minutes, I’ve had to use GNU screen extensively.
I’ve modified my .bash_profile page to have the following line:
exec /usr/bin/screen -R
This way it automatically reattaches to any screen it lost when it last disconnected. If none exists, it just creates a new session. Simple but very useful.
