Re: Screen terminal freezes

[Edmond Rodriguez]

Well, so much for that idea.  I am still getting the hangs, despite logging into a shell and then running screen (instead of using ssh -t),  and there is still no output to the terminal or any kind of message being displayed that I can see regarding the hang. 

A screen terminal will just randomly hang at times while outputting data.  Sometimes things will work for a long time, but eventually a freeze occurs.  Sometimes the freeze happens at a sooner time.   It is as if a CTL-S was issued, but CTL-Q or CTL a q will not get it going again. 

(sorry... top posted on a bottom posted email earlier). :)

Nope, there is no output to the screen session, but it's an interesting question because I do an "ssh -t ..... address@hidden screen"  to get in to a remote host.   Maybe I should try sshing in as a terminal and run screen myself and see if the problem persists and/or a message is displayed that perhaps would not otherwise be displayed because of a tty issue?

ssh -t option:

     −t      Force pseudo-tty allocation.  This can be used to execute arbitrary screen-based programs on  a remote machine, which can be very useful, e.g. when implementing menu services. 

Thanks for the reply, and I look forward to any other comments.

Is there any output in the terminal when it freezes?
