So there I was, learning screen for the first time and was not liking the inability to scroll within screen session.
After a lot of googling, I believe to have found the solution as shown in .screenrc
DEMO:
Screen customization:
[oracle@racnode-dc1-1 ~]$ cat .screenrc
# Set scrollback buffer to 100000
defscrollback 100000
# Customize the status line
hardstatus alwayslastline
hardstatus string '%{= kG}[ %{G}%H %{g}][%= %{= kw}%?%-Lw%?%{r}(%{W}%n*%f%t%?(%u)%?%{r})%{w}%?%+Lw%?%?%= %{g}][%{B} %m-%d %{W}%c %{g}]'
# Enable mouse scrolling and scroll bar history scrolling
termcapinfo xterm* ti@:te@
[oracle@racnode-dc1-1 ~]$
Start screen session name testing and log to screenlog.0
I was informed screenlog.0 would overwrite but in my test case, it did not.
[oracle@racnode-dc1-1 ~]$ ls -l total 0 [oracle@racnode-dc1-1 ~]$ [oracle@racnode-dc1-1 ~]$ screen -SL testing
In screen session
