delscreen - Linux
Overview
The delscreen
command removes a Xen virtual console screen from the running system. Xen virtual console (XVC) screens are virtual consoles that allow multiple remote users to access the same system concurrently. delscreen
is used to release the resources associated with a specific XVC screen, allowing the screen to be removed from the system.
Syntax
delscreen [ -f | --force ] [ -s | --screen-id ]
Options/Flags
- -f, –force: Force the screen to be deleted even if there are processes attached to it.
- -s, –screen-id: Specify the ID of the screen to be deleted. If not specified, the current screen will be deleted.
Examples
To delete the current screen, run:
delscreen
To delete screen with ID 10, run:
delscreen -s 10
Common Issues
- If the screen is in use by a process, the
-f
option must be used to force the screen to be deleted. - If the screen ID is not specified, the current screen will be deleted. If you are not sure which screen is current, use the
-s
option to specify the screen ID explicitly.
Integration
The delscreen
command can be combined with other Linux commands to manage Xen virtual console screens. For example, the following command creates a new XVC screen:
xenvcons create
The following command lists all active XVC screens:
xenvcons list
