Full Discussion: Use of screen in running background jobs and how to use this
Operating Systems AIX Use of screen in running background jobs and how to use this Post 302894603 by kneemoe on Wednesday 26th of March 2014 11:12:35 AM

Install via rpm, its helpful to edit/create a screenrc (either in /etc/screenrc of ~/.screenrc)

simple screenrc:
Code:
------------------------------------------------
# no default message, no audible bell
startup_message off
vbell on
 

# more usable scrollback
defscrollback 5000
 

# detach on hangup
autodetach on

 

# make bold work
#attrcolor b ".I"

#attrcolor i "+b"

 

# hardstatus and caption
hardstatus on
hardstatus alwayslastline
hardstatus string "%{.bW}%-w%{.rW}%n %t%{-}%+w %=%{..G} %H %{..Y} %m/%d %C%a "

 

 

# resize
bind + resize +5
bind - resize -5
bind = resize =

 

# bindings
bind % screen -t top top

read the MAN so you know how to reattach disconnected sessions, etc. Basic key bindings start with Ctrl-a then the key-combo you want to send to screen (ex, Ctrl-a then ctrl+c will create a new psuedo terminal, Ctrl+a then Ctrl+A will allow you to name the new terminal something useful in the statusbar)
screen is useful as it grabs the hup message, if you get disconnected from your session your psuedo terms will still be running so your programs don't get the hup and continue to run.

helpful args for this -
screen -ls
screen -rd "session-name" = reconnect the session and disconnect it from elsewhere if needed.

ttk::sizegrip

ttk::sizegrip(n)						 Tk Themed Widget						  ttk::sizegrip(n)

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

NAME

       ttk::sizegrip - Bottom-right corner resize widget

SYNOPSIS

       ttk::sizegrip pathName ?options?
_________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION

       A  ttk::sizegrip  widget  (also	known as a grow box) allows the user to resize the containing toplevel window by pressing and dragging the
       grip.

STANDARD OPTIONS

       -class		     -cursor		  -state
       -style		     -takefocus

       See the ttk_widget manual entry for details on the standard options.

WIDGET COMMAND

       Sizegrip widgets support the standard cget, configure, identify, instate, and state methods.  No other widget methods are used.

PLATFORM-SPECIFIC NOTES
       On Mac OSX, toplevel windows automatically include a built-in size grip by default.  Adding a ttk::sizegrip there is  harmless,	since  the
       built-in grip will just mask the widget.

EXAMPLES

       Using pack:
	      pack [ttk::frame $top.statusbar] -side bottom -fill x
	      pack [ttk::sizegrip $top.statusbar.grip] -side right -anchor se

       Using grid:
	      grid [ttk::sizegrip $top.statusbar.grip] 
		  -row $lastRow -column $lastColumn -sticky se
	      # ... optional: add vertical scrollbar in $lastColumn,
	      # ... optional: add horizontal scrollbar in $lastRow

BUGS

       If  the containing toplevel's position was specified relative to the right or bottom of the screen (e.g., "wm geometry ... wxh-x-y" instead
       of "wm geometry ... wxh+x+y"), the sizegrip widget will not resize the window.

       ttk::sizegrip widgets only support "southeast" resizing.
