Start screen after sudo su to another user

Sudo'ing to a user then running screen doesn't work out of the box.  Typically you get the following error:

Cannot open your terminal '/dev/pts/1' - please check.

Recently I found an answer to this problem here:  http://www.hjackson.org/blog/archives/2008/11/29/cannot-open-your-terminal-dev-pts-please-check

From the blog, here's the procedure

sudo su - someuser

script /dev/null

screen

Should work now.  

You never know how well your shoes fit...

... until you try someone elses out.

At some point I'll make a tabular layout of the most common unix commands and their windows counterparts... but for now lets just put a recent lil tool:

Unix:

ps -ef | grep "something"

Windows:

tasklist | findstr "something"

Good stuff!

I hear that taskkill is the kill -9 equivilent, but I need to test that to confirm it...
