I'm jumping in here, and apologies for such. :P
I do not use screen/tmux... I've used it a time or two that I needed to do something special with irssi (put handles on the left side of screen..) but I don't understand/know what its uses ARE.
I think I can... SSH into my BBS box and say, run the server.. and if I close the SSH window it'll keep the server open on the BBS Box side?
Would you mind explaining a quick overview of what screen is? And used for? Possibly how it help sysOps running a BBS on another system on their network.
Also, pls know that I'm 'man screen'ing right now... :P
