Did you know Gnu Screen came default with your macs? I did not know that!!
I wanted to run one of my python scripts remotely on my mac mini to detect duplicates in my image library. As this would take some time, I didn’t want to leave the session running on my laptop. I remembered using screen when I was actively using linux a few years ago and thought it would be a great solution here. First thing I did was do a quick google search to see if there was a ready made package for mac OSX. To my surprise I found out that it’s already installed on my mac :) Yipppee!!
