Rosh

Rosh is roaming shell. It can automatically reconnect to the host with the remote GNU screen session.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'rosh'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install rosh

rosh [options] hostname [GNU_screen_session_name]

-a alive-interval   Set ssh option ServerAliveInterval. Default: 5
-e escape           Set the escape charactor of the outer screen session.
                    Default: "^t"
-I interval         Reconnection interval.

To detach the outer screen session,

^t d

To send the command to the inner screen session,

^a

Currently it is not configurable, but the source code is very simple to be customizable.
