Linux screen command

6 September 2009 4067 views 6 comments

For all who are interested and did not know.

"screen" with the program you can open a shell on Linux and have it running in the background.

This is interesting when talking about programs such as a game server, which can not be run as a daemon,

SSH will start without the console open or allow the game server terminates when the SSH Console is closed.

Start program in the screen: screen program name

Screen exit and run in the background: press CTRL + A + D

Open the screen: screen-R

You know maybe if there is a similar command for Windows? So I would be very helpful.

Hi Victoria,

So if you do just about to start a program in the background and it almost does not see, but only as a task in Task Manager, then it's a little trick on JavaScript.

All you have to do the following:
-Make yourself a file with the extension *. js
-Add the following lines in the file:

var shell = new ActiveXObject ("WScript.Shell");
Shell.Run ('notepad.exe', 0);

In this example, Notepad will open in the background. Simply replaced by one in the example notepad.exe program / command to your choice and after your run a JavaScript program is now running in the background.

Mfg.

Christoph
