 On Ubuntu there is a cool feature if you have ssh'd into a computer and are doing a 'sudo do-release-upgrade' and trying to move to the next version via ssh but lose connection, you can then get back to it either by the console of via another new ssh session after reconnecting. On ubuntu you type "sudo screen -D -r" when wanting to get back to that. On Ubuntu there is a cool feature if you have ssh'd into a computer and are doing a 'sudo do-release-upgrade' and trying to move to the next version via ssh but lose connection, you can then get back to it either by the console of via another new ssh session after reconnecting.

-This is actually possible for anyone and you can do the same thing on any distro by setting up screen as you login. So for example if you sshe to a server, then just run the command 'screen' first as you login. Now if you ever get disconnected there will be a screen process that you can reattach to anytime. Just log back in either via new ssh session or the console and type 'screen -r' if logged in as the same user, or sudo first if you are not. +This is actually possible for anyone and you can do the same thing on any distro by setting up screen as you login.

 With byobu just logging back in reconnects (if auto start enabled) you to he last session automatically (even from console) so no commands needed to retrieve it but you can also select a session if there were multiple with the byobu-select-session command. It also lets you do silly things like split the screen and wotnot but we don't really talk about it. With byobu just logging back in reconnects (if auto start enabled) you to he last session automatically (even from console) so no commands needed to retrieve it but you can also select a session if there were multiple with the byobu-select-session command.

 +Last and best option is to install and learn how to use tmux. I recommend using tmux but it requires a lot of getting used to and there are many guides on this. I personally use tmux but have mentioned several ways to do this above.
