Get back to BrickSync command prompt

DeichBricks

Hi all,

I'm running BrickSync on an Ubuntu server and while I was updating my inventory on BL (blmastermode on) I lost my ssh connection and couldn't reattach to the screen it was running in.
I cannot restart BrickSync as it is still running in the background and I don't want to kill the process as I fear that I will loose the inventory updates I made when BrickSyns restarts and does a sync.
Is there any way I can get back to the BrickSync command prompt or at least get it to turn blmastermode off, so it can process the inventory updates?

Cheers,
Dennis

OK, Problem solved.

Seems I was using the screen command incorrectly, I could now reattach to the original BrickSync-Screen...

Cheers,
Dennis

we start brick sync inside a tmux session, so we can attach/detach from the active window from multiple computers as needed and never have to worry about the job getting interrupted. if you aren't familiar with it, check into tmux.

You can kill BrickSync and restart it at any moment. You will never lose anything, it's designed to survive power failures.

Thank, I will look into it as I was already wondering how I could switch the screens from tablet to desktop for example.

Thanks for the info, that's comforting to know :-)
