Quick note to screen
From NAS-2000.org
Screen is a small tool that detatch screenoutputs to background and get them back up.
At the moment screen isn't running out of the box. If you try to start screen you get an error message "Cannot find terminfo entry for 'xterm'". To use screen you first have to set the variable TERM to vt100:
TERM=vt100
Now you can use screen like this:
screen ctorrent xyz.torrent
To put screen to background you have to press CTRL+A then CTRL+D. To get it back you have to start screen again. If you only run one detached screen you have to enter:
screen -R -d
