Hi,
From the screen documentation, it looks like something similar to the
following should work, but it doesn't. If it is not already clear from the
commands below, I want to send an arbitrary command to run in a detached
screen instance. Any recipe that works would be appreciated. Please CC me
on any reply.
Regards, Faheem
*********************************************************************
# create detached foo screen instance
address@hidden:~$ screen -dmS foo
address@hidden:~$ screen -ls
There is a screen on:
30938.foo (02/12/2010 06:39:33 PM) (Detached)
1 Socket in /var/run/screen/S-faheem.
address@hidden:~$ screen -S foo -X emacs -nw somefile
address@hidden:~$ screen -r foo
# attaching to the foo screen session but nothing there
- sending an arbitary command to a detached session,
