Dc204 "Installing and using SCREEN."
Aug 21This manual is the first in a 4 part series in using some basic command line applications.
In this part of the series we focus on installing SCREEN, a terminal application for the Linux command line. Screen enables you to run several command line applications (in different shells) at the same time. ( And leave them running even if you disconnect from the shell, so you can re-connect later).
You can use screen on the “local” command line window on your linux system. ( working locally on the computer) or via an SSH connection if you have setup an SSH-server as we explained earlier on in the KWTV Screencasts : Episode one and Episode two
Shownotes.
- Why Screen
- Adding and removing shells.
- Naming your windows.
- Splitting your screen.
- Other Commands.

Dc202 "A very simple backup script for linux"
Mar 15In this episode of the knightwise.com Docu-cast series we show you how to build your very own backup script on your linux system. With this script you can automatically create zip-filed-backups of the home folders of all the users on your system. We add some extra security to the mix by making the backup folder a “dropbox” for all your other users. That way they can “drop” files into the backup folder, but are unable to see any other files in the folder that have been put there by other users.
Shownotes.
- Creating the destination directory.
- Setting up the correct file permissions with chmod.
- Writing the script.
