To use irssi with ssh/screen, first you need screen installed on your HDA.
For Fedora:
sudo yum -y install screen
For Ubuntu:
sudo aptitude install screen
After that, log into the server using the ssh client you're fond of, (logged in as user) do:
screen irssi
That will start irssi in screen.
After that, run the commands to sign into your favorite irc chat server/channel.
After you close this, dont exit, just click the "x" in the top right corner.
The next time you want to use it, just log into your ssh client, then do:
screen -A -R -DD
and it will bring the chat client back up.
This way you never lose your chat info.
NOTE: when your server is restarted by reboot/power outage or whatever it might be, you will have to go through the steps again. But as long as the server is up and running, you will be set.
So bookmark this page.
