I am working with screen and I am having a hard time with reattaching sessions where I split the screen within one session. Is this even possible?
I have tried searching for it on here and google but there doesn't seem to be any posting on this type of use-case. here are some resources I was using:
- http://aperiodic.net/screen/quick_reference
- https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-use-linux-screen/
- Attach multiple times to a single screen session
- https://kb.iu.edu/d/ahrm
My scenario is this, when I create multiple splits within a single session, for example I run the following commands to create a session and split the screens:
screen -S multiplesplitexample
ctrl+a |
ctrl+a tab
ctrl+a c
Once I get the environment setup the way I want I then detach it by running:
ctrl+a d
now I can see my session when I run screen -ls:
root@kali:~# screen -ls
There is a screen on:
6398.multiplesplitexample (02/09/2019 11:46:17 AM) (Detached)
1 Socket in /run/screen/S-root.
No matter what I run i.e. screen -r multiplesplitexample, screen -dRR, etc. it reattaches the screen session with only one of the screen terminals that was originally two split screen terminals within one screen.
I am able to see the two screen terminals by running
ctrl + a "
