GNU Screen

出自 Arch Linux 中文维基

GNU Screen 是一個全屏窗口管理器,它在多個進程(通常是交互式 shell)之間復用一個物理終端。Screen 中運行的程序在其窗口當前不可見時仍可繼續運行,甚至在整個屏幕會話從用戶終端分離時也是如此。

用法[編輯 | 編輯原始碼]

輸入命令時按下 "轉義鍵 "Ctrl+a,然後進行鍵綁定。

有些用戶認為默認的轉義鍵 Ctrl+a 不方便。可以按照 #更改轉義鍵中的說明,將轉義鍵更改為其他鍵。

常用命令[編輯 | 編輯原始碼]

  • Ctrl+a ? 顯示命令及其默認值
  • Ctrl+a : 進入屏幕命令提示符
  • Ctrl+a " 窗口列表
  • Ctrl+a 0 打開窗口 0
  • Ctrl+a A 命名當前窗口
  • Ctrl+a a 發送到 Ctrl+a 當前窗口
  • Ctrl+a c 創建一個新窗口(帶 shell)
  • Ctrl+a S 將當前區域水平拆分為兩個區域
  • Ctrl+a | 將當前區域垂直拆分為兩個區域
  • Ctrl+a tab 將輸入焦點切換到下一個區域
  • Ctrl+a Ctrl+a 在當前區域和上一個區域之間切換
  • Ctrl+a Esc 進入複製模式(使用 Enter 選擇文本範圍)
  • Ctrl+a ] 粘貼文本
  • Ctrl+a Q 關閉除當前區域之外的所有區域
  • Ctrl+a X 關閉當前區域
  • Ctrl+a d 脫離當前 screen 會話,讓其繼續運行。使用 screen -r 恢復

命令提示符命令[編輯 | 編輯原始碼]

  • Ctrl+a :quit 關閉所有窗口並關閉屏幕會話

Closes all windows and closes screen session

  • Ctrl+a :source ~/.screenrc 重載 screenrc 配置文件(也可使用 /etc/screenrc

命名會話[編輯 | 編輯原始碼]

要創建命名會話,請使用以下命令運行 screen:

$ screen -S session_name

要(重新)命名現有會話,請在屏幕運行時運行以下命令:

Ctrl+a :sessionname session_name

打印標識屏幕會話的 pid.tty.host 字符串列表:

$ screen -list

要附加到已命名的屏幕會話,請運行此命令:

$ screen -x session_name

$ screen -r session_name

自定義屏幕[編輯 | 編輯原始碼]

You can modify the default settings for Screen according to your preference either through a personal .screenrc file which contains commands to be executed at startup (e.g. ~/.screenrc) or on the fly in command mode (e.g. Ctrl+a :vbell off).

Tips and tricks[編輯 | 編輯原始碼]

Autostart with systemd[編輯 | 編輯原始碼]

This service autostarts screen for the specified user (e.g. systemctl enable screen@florian). Running this as a system unit is important, because systemd --user instance is not guaranteed to be running and will be killed when the last session for given the user is closed.

/etc/systemd/system/screen@.service
[Unit]
Description=screen
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=simple
User=%i
ExecStart=/usr/bin/screen -DmS autoscreen
ExecStop=/usr/bin/screen -S autoscreen -X quit

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Change the escape key[編輯 | 編輯原始碼]

It can be a good idea to change the default escape key, not only because "a" is usually typed with the left pinky, but also because Ctrl+a is mapped to the common command beginning-of-line in GNU Readline and Bash-like shells.

The escape key can be changed with the escape option in ~/.screenrc, or the -e option to screen.

For example, if you find that you rarely type Ctrl+j in your shell or editor, you could use escape ^Jj to set the escape key to Ctrl+j. The second "j" means that a literal Ctrl+j can be sent to the terminal via the sequence Ctrl+j j. For Dvorak keyboard users, Ctrl+t (escape ^Tt) might be more convenient.

More exotic options include escape `` which sets the escape key to `, or escape ^^^ which sets it to Ctrl+^.

The escape key is also called the "command character" in Screen documentation.

Start at window 1[編輯 | 編輯原始碼]

By default, the first screen window is 0. If you would rather never have a window 0 and start instead with 1, add the following lines on your configuration:

~/.screenrc
bind c screen 1
bind ^c screen 1
bind 0 select 10                                                            
screen 1

Nested Screen Sessions[編輯 | 編輯原始碼]

It is possible to get stuck in a nested screen session. A common scenario: you start an SSH session from within a screen session. Within the SSH session, you start screen. By default, the outer screen session that was launched first responds to Ctrl+a commands. To send a command to the inner screen session, use Ctrl+a a, followed by your command. For example:

  • Ctrl+a a d Detaches the inner screen session.
  • Ctrl+a a K Kills the inner screen session.

Start Screen on every shell[編輯 | 編輯原始碼]

For Bash and Zsh, add the following snippet to your .bashrc or .zshrc before your aliases:

~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc
if [[ -z "$STY" ]]; then
   screen -xRR session_name
fi

Use 256 colors[編輯 | 編輯原始碼]

本文內容或本節內容已經過期。

原因: screen 4.4 sets $TERM to screen.$TERM, although the manual says something different. There should be no need to modify it in ~/.screenrc. (在Talk:GNU Screen討論)

By default, Screen uses an 8-color terminal emulator. To enable more colors, you need to be using a terminal that supports them and set the correct term value. This will use terminfo to describe how the ANSI escape codes will be interpreted. An entry in the terminfo database structure must exist, ncurses provides many common descriptions stored under /usr/share/terminfo/.

First try the generic value:

~/.screenrc
term screen-256color

If that does not work, try setting it based on your terminal. When using xterm-based terminal:

~/.screenrc
term xterm-256color

When using rxvt-unicode:

~/.screenrc
term rxvt-unicode-256color
注意: /usr/share/terminfo/r/rxvt-unicode-256color is provided by rxvt-unicode-terminfo, which is installed as a dependency of rxvt-unicode. However, if you log into a server via SSH and run screen there, this terminfo file might not be available on the server. In this case it is recommended to copy /usr/share/terminfo/r/rxvt-unicode-256color on the server, it can be saved in ~/.terminfo/.

As a last resort, try setting termcapinfo instead:

~/.screenrc
attrcolor b ".I"    # allow bold colors - necessary for some reason
termcapinfo xterm 'Co#256:AB=\E[48;5;%dm:AF=\E[38;5;%dm'   # tell screen how to set colors. AB = background, AF=foreground
defbce on    # use current bg color for erased chars

Informative statusbar[編輯 | 編輯原始碼]

The default statusbar may be a little lacking. You may find this one more helpful:

~/.screenrc
hardstatus off
hardstatus alwayslastline
hardstatus string '%{= kG}[ %{G}%H %{g}][%= %{= kw}%?%-Lw%?%{r}(%{W}%n*%f%t%?(%u)%?%{r})%{w}%?%+Lw%?%?%= %{g}][%{B} %m-%d %{W} %c %{g}]'

Another possibility, taken from frodfrog's blog[失效鏈接 2023-04-23 ⓘ] is:

~/.screenrc
hardstatus alwayslastline '%{= G}[ %{G}%H %{g}][%= %{= w}%?%-Lw%?%{= R}%n*%f %t%?%{= R}(%u)%?%{= w}%+Lw%?%= %{= g}][ %{y}Load: %l %{g}][%{B}%Y-%m-%d %{W}%c:%s %{g}]'

As of Screen v5 (master branch currently) the escape codes have changed, you could use this instead:

~/.screenrc
truecolors on
hardstatus off
backtick 0 5 5 "/bin/date" '+%Y-%m-%d'
backtick 1 5 5 "/bin/date" '+%H:%M'
hardstatus alwayslastline '%{#00ff00}[ %H ][%{#ffffff}%= %{7}%?%-Lw%?%{1;0}%{1}(%{15}%n%f%t%?(%u)%?%{1;0}%{1})%{7}%?%+Lw%?%? %=%{#00ff00}][ %{#00a5ff}%{6}%0` %{#ffffff}%{7}%1`%{#00ff00} ]'

statusbar at top:

~/.screenrc
hardstatus firstline 

Turn welcome message off[編輯 | 編輯原始碼]

~/.screenrc
startup_message off

Turn your hardstatus line into a dynamic urxvt|xterm|aterm window title[編輯 | 編輯原始碼]

This one is pretty simple; just switch your current hardstatus line into a caption line with notification, and edit accordingly:

~/.screenrc
backtick 1 5 5 true
termcapinfo rxvt* 'hs:ts=\E]2;:fs=\007:ds=\E]2;\007'
hardstatus string "screen (%n: %t)"
caption string "%{= kw}%Y-%m-%d;%c %{= kw}%-Lw%{= kG}%{+b}[%n %t]%{-b}%{= kw}%+Lw%1`"
caption always

This will give you something like screen (0 bash) in the title of your terminal emulator. The caption supplies the date, current time, and colorizes your screen window collection.

Use X scrolling mechanism[編輯 | 編輯原始碼]

The scroll buffer of GNU Screen can be accessed with Ctrl+a [. However, this is very inconvenient. To use the scroll bar of e.g. xterm or Konsole, add the following line [1]:

~/.screenrc
termcapinfo xterm*|rxvt*|kterm*|Eterm* ti@:te@

Attach an existing running program to screen[編輯 | 編輯原始碼]

If you started a program outside Screen, but now you would like it to be inside, you can use reptyr to reparent the process from its current TTY to one inside screen.

Install the reptyr package.

Get the PID of the process (you can use ps ax for that). Now just enter the PID as argument to reptyr inside a screen window.

$ reptyr pid

Setting a different bash prompt while in screen[編輯 | 編輯原始碼]

If you want a different bash prompt when in a screen session, add the following to your .bashrc[2]:

if [ -z $STY ]
then
        PS1="YOUR REGULAR PROMPT"
else  
        PS1="YOUR SCREEN PROMPT"
fi

Turn off visual bell[編輯 | 編輯原始碼]

With this setting, Screen will not make an ugly screen flash instead of a bell sound.

~/.screenrc
vbell off

Getting rid of the vertical and horizontal bars[編輯 | 編輯原始碼]

To get rid of the vertical bars:

$ ~/.screenrc
rendition so =00

To hide the horizontal bar, set the back and foreground color to default (d) and display a blank (" "):

~/.screenrc
caption string "%{03} "

If this does not work, try caption string "%{00} " instead. For the default caption in black and white, use caption string "%{00}%3n %t".

Troubleshooting[編輯 | 編輯原始碼]

Fix for residual editor text[編輯 | 編輯原始碼]

When you open a text editor like nano in screen and then close it, the text may stay visible in your terminal. To fix this, put the following:

~/.screenrc
altscreen on

Fix for Name column in windowlist only show "bash"[編輯 | 編輯原始碼]

這篇文章的某些內容需要擴充。

原因: Explain what does the command do. (在 Talk:GNU Screen 中討論)

Add following to ~/.screenrc:

~/.screenrc
windowlist string "%4n %h%=%f"
