I'm using the Screen multiplexer tool on the command shell and open a lot of screens. I then forget which process ID associates with which task.
I would like to set a name for a screen, but I can't find an option in the man page.
Currently, listing the screens looks like this:
There are screens on:
5422.pts-1.aws1 (Detached)
5448.pts-1.aws1 (Detached)
5027.pts-1.aws1 (Detached)
3 Sockets in /var/run/screen/S-sb.
And I would like to see something like this:
There are screens on:
5422.logCleanWorker (Detached)
5448.overNightLongTask(Detached)
5027.databaseOverNightLongTask (Detached)
3 Sockets in /var/run/screen/S-sb.
How can I do this?
screen -S your_session_name
Ctrl+a, : sessionname
$YOUR_SESSION_NAME Enter
You must be inside the session
sessionname
is command, please type it exactly, not your session name there - yours will be at $YOUR_SESSION_NAME
