ScreenSpin

ScreenSpin is a project mainly written in Shell, it's free.

A fun shell script for checking whether or not you are in an instance of GNU Screen

A small, just for fun script to check whether or not you are in an instance of GNU screen. Yes, you could just type "screen -list" or whatnot, but this is a reference to the movie Inception. Leonardo DiCaprio spins a top to see if he is in a dream. If he is, it spins forever. If it falls, he knows he is awake. Inspired by realizing I was in a screen within a screen within a screen.
