If we're troubleshooting a server (Asterisk), we may want to gather a few minutes' worth of Asterisk console events, then search/review them. Without multi-tasking we can't do anything else while waiting for all the events to happen in the console.

I wasn't aware that this maintained a scrollback while not connected. I'll have to try it then. My usage of screen is just with serial devices like routers.

A search for "screen" and "iSSH" is marginally useful because of the common use of the word screen. Do you have a handy link to any info on using iSSH and screen effectively?
