$ screen -r ${session_id}

try on your machine

The command "screen -r ${session_id}" is used to attach and reattach to a detached or disconnected GNU screen session.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

"screen": This refers to the GNU screen program, which provides a terminal multiplexer that allows multiple virtual terminals within a single session. It is useful for running multiple shell sessions and managing them.
"-r": This is an option flag for the "screen" command, which stands for "reattach". It is used to reattach to a detached or disconnected screen session.
"${session_id}": This is a placeholder for the session ID (or session name) of the screen session you want to reattach to. The session ID is a unique identifier given to each screen session when it is created. By providing the session ID, you instruct the "screen" command to reattach to that specific session.

In summary, the command "screen -r ${session_id}" allows you to reattach to a detached or disconnected GNU screen session by providing the session ID.
