How to Reopen Putty Every SSH Sessions

Are you tired of constantly reopening your Putty session every time you restart your computer or close the application? This issue can be frustrating, especially when you have multiple sessions open and need to quickly switch between them. In this article, we will explore a solution to reopen Putty every SSH session without having to manually restart the application.

The Problem

When you close a Putty session, all your connections are terminated, and you lose your work. This can be particularly problematic if you have multiple sessions open and need to quickly switch between them. To make matters worse, if you restart your computer or close the application, all your SSH sessions will be lost.

The Solution

One way to reopen Putty every SSH session is by using a terminal multiplexer like Screen. This program allows you to run processes within a 'terminal tty instance,' which means that even if you close the ssh session, the process will still be running in the background. This allows you to disconnect and reconnect the instance containing the process without losing your work.

How to Use Screen

To use Screen with Raspberry Pi, follow these steps:

1. Open a terminal window on your computer.

2. Type `screen` followed by the command you want to run (e.g., `ssh user@host`).

3. Press Enter to execute the command.

4. You will now be in a new terminal screen where you can interact with the process as if it were running directly on your local machine.

Benefits of Using Screen

Using Screen has several benefits, including:

* Multiple Sessions: You can have multiple sessions open at the same time without having to manually restart the application.

* Background Processes: Even if you close the ssh session, the process will still be running in the background.

* Quick Reconnection: If you need to reconnect to a specific terminal, you can simply use `screen -r` to reattach to the previous session.

Reopening Putty every SSH session can be frustrating, but using Screen is a simple and effective solution. By using this program, you can have multiple sessions open at the same time, background processes running in the background, and quickly reconnect to specific terminals. This makes it easy to work on your Raspberry Pi without having to constantly reopen your Putty session.
