It lets you SSH in and emulate a local session that you can disconnect from and it will continue to run until you log back in and kill the session or you include an exit in your script.

I am curious why it is not in the mainline repos? It is pretty standard Linux stuff.

'Cos no-one has got round to it?

This is a community, and you mentioned "I would think a quick easy scratchbox compile would do the trick", so why not contribute?

It's in the SDK tools repo, see http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/...5#Installation

I'm sure multiple threads is how to get dev's to recompile programs...

Duplicate threads merged. biketool, do not open multiple threads for the same topic.

Yes I did a double thread, my bad, forgot I had already asked, so very sorry. Thank you all who contributed for the help.
I unfortunately don't have disk space on my / partition for scratchbox, turns out there was a working .deb if you DL it to local and install as per the thread.

I took screen from sdk-repository, renamed it to the 'screen-n900' and pushed to the extras-devel.It seems to work on device. If you think so also, I can promote it to the extras-testing. (And change category to user/..)

Changes:
*removed whining line on postinst
("/var/lib/dpkg/info/screen.postinst: line 23: /usr/sbin/add-shell: not found"

*emoved whining line on postrm
("/var/lib/dpkg/info/screen-n900.postrm: line 17: /usr/sbin/remove-shell: not found"

*changed 'xterm' to the '*xterm' on screenrc
("Aborted because of window size change")

*dropped some dependencies
(${misc:Depends} = debconf, dpkg, install-info)
