From 9130af71db8a4c8013ff989da1ae55e0f977d44a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marno van der Maas <34654485+marnovandermaas@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Thu, 26 Oct 2023 16:44:22 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Replace detach with kill for screen Detaching from screen still leaves it running in the background which causes people to need to use `sudo` to attach to it again. Instead if we kill the screen instance with `k` then we can just attach screen again in unprivileged mode. You also need to confirm the exit by pressing `y`. --- README.md | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index d194ee82..06455b3b 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -516,7 +516,8 @@ screen /dev/ttyUSB1 115200 If you see an immediate `[screen is terminating]`, it may mean that you need super user rights.
