✨ SCREENIE ✨

ok so bestie, meet screenie — your screen(1) session handler (aka a wrapper) 💖 this is from the General Commands Manual and it's literally the glow-up your terminal sessions have been waiting for.

🎀 NAME 🎀

screenie — it's a screen(1) session handler, which is a fancy way of saying it's a wrapper. yes queen, it wraps. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

screenie [-h|--help] [-j session_name job]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea ☕ — screenie is a small and lightweight screen(1) wrapper, and its whole entire job is making session selection less of a nightmare on a system where you've got multiple screen sessions going at once 😭 like, we've all been there.

what it does: screenie hands you a simple interactive menu so you can either pick an existing screen session or spin up a brand new one. that's it. that's the vibe. no cap. ✨

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -h | --help — shows you the help. that's the whole thing, bestie 🫶
  • -j session_name job — lets you run screen jobs straight from the command-line 🖥️✨

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

run it in interactive mode, aka let the menu do its little dance:

screenie

create a new detached session — iconic behaviour:

screenie -j stat top
