The solution is in how you send the commands. You need to use the -p
option:
$ screen -S name -p 0 -X stuff "command^M"
The problem is that without a qualifier -X sends its commands to the
current window. If you've created a session detached, there is no
"current window" until you connect, so you need to specify a destination.
Playing with things shows that running 'screen -X select 0' beforehand
doesn't work; until you attach and detach, it looks like you'll need to
explicitly specify the destination window.
