The Basics of Linux Screen


Screen is an awesome utility that offers the ability to detach a long running process (or program, shell-script, irc window, etc.) from a session and then attach it back at a later time.  Below are the basics:

To get started, enter:
      screen

To see your existing screen sessions, enter:
      screen -list

To detach an attached screen, enter:  
      screen -D

To re-attach to a detached screen, enter:
      screen -r

Java 0day is upon us and no patch in Sight!

And... the Java 0day is here. Actually, I am way late. So late that there is a patch. But careful, its not really a patch. Its just a configuration setting :p So no matter what you do, I encourage you to think about this one very, very, seriously.
