I am using GNU screen a lot. I find it very annoying that everytime the server has to be rebooted I lose all my sessions (even if I know in advance, I need to set-up everything again).
I've searched the web for possibilities how to make screen survive a reboot, but found nothing that works for me. Some of the methods I found and there flaws:
- CryoPID: seems to be dead, promising since 2005 to include support for screen
- DMCTP: has problems with setuid(), didn't work for me (I admit I didn't try very hard)
- some script trying to recreate the session from scratch; you still lose your history and I think also the environments variables are not correctly set (and when I tried it didn't bring up all sessions)
Maybe somebody knows some better process freezer? This seems to be the most promising way.
