sshscreen

The main goal of this project is restore ssh sessions while new connection.
In daily life, developers are develop program or design systems at remote servers. If the projects is big enough to require more than one session, time between two sessions your ssh connection might be drop due to connection issue or closing PC.

To prevent this I use screen to restore my shell sessions but in screen I also use screen again in screens.
This script will be organize your SSH login screens easier ans separate Login screens and in projects screens.

Features

Most of the features comes from screen capabilities.
