screenrc file

I have been using the awesome screen program for a long time. I recently remembered that someone once gave me the following ~/.screenrc file:

# Screen configuration 
 
# Statusbar 
hardstatus off 
hardstatus alwayslastline 
hardstatus string "%{.bW}%-w%{.rW}%n %t%{-}%+w %=%{..G} %H %{..Y} %d/%m %C%a" 
 
# Scrolling in xterms 
termcapinfo xterm|xterms|xs|rxvt ti@:te@ 
 
# Miscellaneous 
startup_message off 

This file enables a small status bar at the bottom of the screen with the hostname and color. I you need to manage lots of different servers this is great as you can make each status bar a different color - never get hosts confused again!
