[Linux] Staying connected to IRC through SSH (No BNC Needed) - Natha - 05-31-2010

I DID NOT WRITE THIS

Tested On uBuntu and CentOS
Programs Downloaded/Used Irssi, Screen, SSH Client

Note: Most shells already have Irssi, Screen

Step 1, Sign into your SSH.

Step 2,
ubuntu:

Code:
apt-get install irssi

CentOS:

Code:
yum install irssi

Example:

Step 3.
ubuntu:

Code:
apt-get install screen

CentOS:

Code:
yum install screen

Example:

After both those packages are installed type the following:

Code:
screen

followed by:

Code:
irssi

and it will connect, if you want to keep it on while the SSH is closed, use control + A and then type d, it will detatch, if you get back on the shell and want to reopen it, type screen -r "r" for resume.

I don't really understand this, are you just tunneling IRC traffic over SSH?
