Save complete GNU screen session state
Is it possible to persist the “state” of a GNU screen window (or just a standard shell) so that I can reload everything after a reboot:
gnu-screen
Prevent Logoff from Killing tmux Session
I have noticed that a logoff (log out) from my X user session will kill any tmux session I have initiated, even sessions I had run with sudo tmux and similar commands. I am sure that this formerly did not happen, but some recent change has effected this behavior.
Force title on GNU screen

Run script in a screen
I want to run a bash script in a detached screen. The script calls a program a few times, each of which takes too long to wait. My first thought was to simply open a screen and then call the script, but it appears that I can’t detach (by ctrl-a d) while the script is running. So I did some research and found this instruction to replace the shebang with following:
GNU Screen doesn’t echo unicode characters correct
When I do this in my terminal:
