| Both shellworld, and dreamhost, use Ubuntu as the basis for their shell
| workspaces.
| Sharing that up front, as this may be tied to Ubuntu.
Thanks -- good to explain the context.
| There is a program called screen, apparently common across some Linux
| distributions.
On Fedora 36, I had to install it manually, but it was in the distro's
repository:
sudo dnf install screen
Clearly I haven't used it much since I hadn't even installed it.
(Many people have migrated to tmux. I haven't bothered because I don't
use screen often -- why learn something new? So many flags, so many
magic keystrokes.)
| one can create the equal of a screen shot,
| screen www.website.com
The screen command does not take a URL as an argument.
What do you want it to do with the URL?
The synopsis says:
screen [ -options ] [ cmd [ args ] ]
Maybe you wanted:
screen links www.website.com
To me, this is better expressed as:
screen
links www.website.com
