When EC2 Hardware Changes Underneath You

I really do not know. I have not had the time to investigate how and why this particular service might suffer so much on EC2. I do not know if our EC2 servies were suffering something that was unique to us, or whether this is a general problem with EC2. I do know that I was annoyed as hell. And I know I have not had this problem with other cloud services, such as the one offered by Rackspace.

Are you sure it isn't just a difference in configuration or distribution that you are using? Hard to imagine how screen would be terribly unique here in uniquely misbehaving on EC2.

Also:-

The contents of /var/run/screen/ and the "S-<username>" subdir that should be there...

The output of "ps u" and "ps -ef | grep s[c]reen"
