"screen" help
I was running a command which takes a very long time in a "screen" process. It was a pretty important command which is why I used screen in case my connection died or anything. Anyway, the screen ended with "[screen is terminating]" and now I can't see anything that was going on in that screen so I'm not sure if it failed or succeeded after 3 hours of running
Anyone know if there's likely to be a log, or some way to check what happened in that screen once it's ended?

It's 1am and doesn't appear I'll be going to bed before starting work in the morning

Re: "screen" help
AFAIK, Screen outputs to the syslog. Did you have a reboot or something, or did you "exit" instead of ctrl+a, ctrl+d? It's *very* unusual for Screen to just terminate.
