The GNU screen is unresponsive, seems blocked

Question

GNU Screen seems to freeze. Unable to enter user input.

I was using GNU screen and when I pressed the screen it became unresponsive. I can execute all the GNU screen c

Answer 1

The above works great if that is your issue.

This could also happen if you're ssh'd into another machine and haven't been to the window in awhile, then when you go back it's frozen. To fix this, you can try the following:

1) Create a new window

Ctrl-a c

2) ssh into the box where you ssh'd into the box in the window that's frozen.

3) Find the process the ssh is running under:

ps aux | grep 

or

ps aux | grep 

4) Kill the process

kill
