Re: Making screen look for a pattern to detect "activity"

Oops, sorry, replied off list by accident, here it is for google-completeness:

Hi

> From the info pages for screen:
"
`!:sed -n s/.*Error.*/\007/p'
   Sends window output to both, the user and the sed command. The sed
   inserts an additional bell character (oct. 007) to the window
   output seen by screen.  This will cause 'Bell in window x'
   messages, whenever the string `Error' appears in the window.
"

The following command should take you straight to the page:
> info screen 'Subprocess Execution' 'Using Exec'

Harry.
