screen logging
((ctrl-a) H)
sometimes it's important to keep track of what I do to some servers. this is very easy with screen.
((ctrl-a) H) creates an ongoing logging of the session.
screen will start capature through multiple sessions.
very useful for capturing what you have done...
manpage says: Begins/ends logging of the current window to the file "screenlog.n"
