Quick IRC Alias
alias irc="ssh -t irchost 'screen -Dr'"
Which means: ssh to irchost (much easier with something like SSHKeychain), power detach (remotely log out if necessary) any attached screen and then reattach. The -t option is necessary to force ssh to assign us a tty even though we’re running a command.
Possible improvements:
- Naming the screen on creation (
screen -S irc) and using that name in the above alias so you don’t reattach the wrong screen - Automatically start screen if the irc session is not found
