##### Running ICMP Packet Loss Logger
For execution in background I have used screen. To create a screen and start working with it run this command, where 'pll' - the name of a screen. It may be any name, like screen1, test1, etc.
```bash
$ screen -S pll
```
To start the script, run pll.rb with next pattern: `[host_name] [packet_size_in_bytes] [runtime format: 1s, 1m , 1h or 1d]`
```bash
$ ruby /etc/packet-loss-logger/pll.rb google.com 1000 1m
```

##### How to use the screen?
To exit screen, use the ` + & ` keys. All processes running in your screen are still being executed. To return to your screen or to any other screen, use:
```bash
$ screen -r
```
or list your screens:
```bash
$ screen -ls
```
and select and activate one of the screen that you need:
```bash
$ screen -r
```
When you no longer need a screen session, you can kill it. To do this, login into your screen and press ` + `.
