Screen is a virtual terminal manager which makes live at bit easier to run programs in the background or just to use more shell within only 1 window. How to use screen can be found here: http://sunsite.ualberta.ca/Documentation/Gnu/screen-3.9.4/html_chapter/screen_toc.html

I have made some changes globally and some per user. These are my changes

/etc/screenrc

# System wide extra settings
startup_message off
shell -$SHELL
defscrollback 1024
chdir
defmonitor on
bind R screen -t '% |root:' sudo su -l root
defwrap on

~/.screenrc

# point it to the user hardcoded. ~ wouldn't work... :(
hardcopydir /home/<user>
hardcopy_append on
logfile /home/<user>/screenlog.%n
