Gnu screen Profile SYstem (gpsy)

Gnu screen Profile Sysetem or gpsy is a wrapper for GNU Screen that comes prepackaged with several screenrc configurations (profiles) ready to go.

Setting Up

Use gpsy-conf.sh script to either 'install' or 'uninstall' gpsy.

Install Locations

Default install location: /usr/local/bin/gpsy Default screenrc profile location: /usr/local/gpsy

gpsy-conf.sh install will also place the file 'rc' into ~/.ssh/ if it is not already present. this will allow gpsy to forward your ssh-agent through to any screen session started.

Usage Notes

NOTE:
