When working on remote Linux terminals its a good idea to use screen manager as it will protect your session from disconnection. Here are some handy command when using screen on Linux or Mac environment:
starting a screen session
Start a screen session
$ screen
Start a screen session with sessionname
$ screen -S foo
List running sessions
$ screen -ls There is a screen on: 13462.foo (07/28/2015 01:33:46 PM) (Attached)
resume already running session
Reattach a session after detaching is necessary
$ screen -d -r
Reattach a named session after detaching is necessary
$ screen -d -r foo
Attach to non-detached screen (multi display)
// Assuming foo is an attached session $ screen -x foo
Detaching from a screen session
Detach from a screen session so that you can attach to it later:
$ ctr-a and then ctr-d
Note that ctr-a is necessary otherwise it may exit from screen session.
Kill a screen session
Kill detached screen session
$ screen -S foo -X kill
Kill current screen
$ ctr-d // or $ ctr-a :quit
