Here is a quick how-to for the screen utility found on *nix systems:

1. To start a new screen session type 'screen'
2. Once inside to open a new window 'ctrl-a c' (create)
3. To cycle through the windows 'ctrl-a n' (next) and 'ctrl-a p' (previous)
4. To kill a window 'ctrl-d', if you kill all your windows you automatically exit
5. To exit the screen program 'ctrl-a d' (for detach)
6. To view current screen sessions 'screen -ls' and you see a bunch of
process ids
7. To reattach type 'screen -r PROCESS_ID'
