Hrm, the basic concept definitely works for me.

Checking my code I noticed one difference besides options like window
title, etc.: I give the window number as first parameter. Applying
this to your example, I'd write this:

screen 0 /path/to/myscript1.sh
screen 1 /path/to/myscript2.sh

Does this work for you?

According to the man page the window number is optional, but maybe
this doesn't count in all cases? (If so the man page should be made
more precise.)

                Kind regards, Axel
