Much appreciated. I’m a huge fan of screen, but working with it is sometimes challenging :)

Another useful command is: “screen -S NAME -d -m COMMAND“.

This starts a detached session named “NAME” and runs the command “COMMAND” inside.

You then can later reattach and see what “COMMAND” is doing with “screen -r NAME”
