I use screen on several remote hosts (mostly Linux and IBM AIX) taking full advantage of the session management, so I just need to log on the remote host and resume my everyday's work reattaching to my screen sessions. The problem is that screen sessions get lost when a remote host reboots or shuts down. So I'm wondering if there exist a way to automatically save the screen session before a reboot or shut down and resume it when the host starts up again. In particular I'm thinking to automatic checkpointing of the screen session, in a way similar to the checkpointing feature supported by many batch queue systems. Is there any screen user who use something similar? Thsnks in advance! </pre> Pier Giuseppe Fogli 2012-05-23T08:35:21 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.screen.user/4072 <pre>Hello, Try using the "stuff" command. So something like: screen -x &lt;sessionName&gt; -p &lt;windowTitle&gt; -X stuff "^C" Note that the ^C sequence is a literal Ctrl+C character, so you need to input it as the sequence Ctrl+V Ctrl+C.

First you'll see the ^V then ^C will replace it, on your shell prompt (or in your editor), you should see something like: $ screen -X at "test" stuff "^C" </pre> Michael Parson 2012-05-21T16:49:24 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.screen.user/4070 <pre>Dear community, Would you please let me know how one could send programmatically the Ctrl-C keystroke, needed for breaking the current application, into a specific window of a particular screen session? The "screen -x &lt;sessionName&gt; -p &lt;windowTitle&gt; -X break" command, which could make this, as one might suppose, does not work really. Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks a lot!

It seems to me that there is no way out, save entering the correct password. Am I right? And if so, shouldn't the user be able to get out?

However, when running alpine from within screen, I have an issue when I try to launch the external viewer. It tells me that the command completed, but nothing happens. If I do the same thing from a regular session or tmux it works just fine. And if I run tmux inside screen and alpine inside that then it works just fine. If I try to pipe a message to a file I get an error "can't exec (script) no such file or directory" Any help would be appreciated!
