Ubuntu server screens.

I'm learn how to use screens and how  many screens can you run at a time and How do you name them? I'm trying to do screen -t Name but it seems like that does nothing.

I don't use screens but would suggest using tmux instead, it has the same functionality but some extra goodies. check out this link for a comparison http://superuser.com/questions/236158/tmux-vs-screen

 

in tmux you only do:

 

tmux new -s name_of_session

 

to get a named session and then

 

tmux ls

 

to list your sessions and

 

tmux attach -t name_of_session

 

to attach to the target session
