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://comments.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 is necessary for the consecutive closing windows in the strict backward order opposite to the windows creation order. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

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!

TIA, </pre> Philipp Haselwarter 2012-02-18T17:23:05 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.screen.user/4042 <pre>Hi. I can't seem to find anything regarding the syntax for the "identifier" from the at command. So far I discovered that - I can match the windows that have the title begin with the same characters or - I can match only one window by complete title or number or - I can match all the windows. I'm interested in matching only a list of windows (title or numbers) or a range of numbers. Is this possible? If yes, how? Thanks. -- Fita Adrian </pre> Adrian Fita 2012-02-03T11:48:35 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.screen.user/4041 <pre> Hi, I am running OS X 10.7, and GNU Screen will not launch at all at the command line (it just hangs indefinitely). This is true both when trying to run screen locally and remotely. Screen will still do some basic stuff such as dump the version information when I run "screen --version", but about all I can do if I run screen normally is suspend the process, and when I run "fg" I get the following error message: "Sorry, cannot contact session "52349.ttys010.xxxxx" again." This problem has actually existed for me for over a year (under both 10.6 and 10.7), and both the built-in version of screen in OS X and the version from MacPorts have the same problem (they are both version 4.00.03). Does anyone have any ideas on how to solve this? </pre> Errer 2012-02-03T06:46:48 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.screen.user/4039 <pre>Hi, I have about 20 windows open in my screen session, and I would like to reorder the right-most window 20 to say, just before position 10 like this: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 ...V ............ ................... .... V 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 20 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 How can I do that in a simple command? _______________________________________________ screen-users mailing list screen-users-mXXj517/zsQ&lt; at &gt;public.gmane.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/screen-users </pre> Albert Vilella 2012-01-27T12:32:56 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.screen.user/4038 <pre>Hi all, The terminal emulator rxvt-unicode supports perl plugins, whereby I can perform actions in response to escape sequences (amongst other events). I've been enjoying hacking at these. My immediate application is to allow notifications in notify-osd on my local machine without the complications or (ugly) delays of doing it with notify-send and X forwarding, and this works well when urxvt can see the commands. I reach a conundrum, however, when trying to make these play nice with screen. Screen, correctly I believe, does not pass unrecognized escape sequences, so they never get to urxvt. I can hop through N screens, for a fixed N, by wrapping with N layers of \eP...\e\\, but that's ugly, inflexible, and not really the right way anyway. The truly correct way, I think, is to add terminal capabilities for each of my extensions, and add these to my termcap files for both screen and urxvt, which is straightforward enough for the most part but I am wondering if there's any means (short of hacking at the source) of making screen query and use some particular capability of its parent terminal when it sees a particular escape sequence. Ideas for other ways of accomplishing what I'm setting about here are also welcome, as are questions, and pointers for where it should be added in the source if it that is required (though I realize this is a users list). Thank you, David </pre> David Thomas 2012-01-18T20:17:57 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.screen.user/4030 <pre>Hi all, Is it possible to have two panes hold a single window (much like a two column layout in a magazine)? It'd be sweet to have A|D B|E C|F where A, B, C, D, E, F are sequential lines from, say, a text editor and | is a screen split. Especially on a wide-but-not-tall monitor.

It seems to me that the screen+bumpandcollapse patch written by D Andrew Reynhout more than 3 years ago, discussed at http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/screen-users/2008-08/msg00077.html is exactly what I'm looking for. Please let me know whether it has been integrated to screen in the meantime or if any equivalent functionality has been created. If nothing has been done about this then I'm willing to pay someone for doing this work because it'd be tremendously useful. (I'm a software developer myself without any free time so I'd rather like to delegate this task.) </pre> László Monda 2012-01-05T22:50:43 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.screen.user/4025 <pre>Hi List, I often happen to have a bunch of screen windows which I'd like to move around in a relative (move left or right) and not in an absolute (:number x) manner.

I tried the `wall` command and it worked fine. But if the user is using screen the message is not displayed. In other words if you are working inside a screen session then you won't see any messages sent with the `wall` command. Can someone more familiar help me out with this? I am using Screen version 4.00.03jw4 (FAU) 2-May-06 Also I found the 'wall' screen command but it shows the messages in the hard-status line and they disappear after a while. Is there a way that I can send the messages to the virtual terminals in screen instead of the hard-status line?

I typically just run GNU Emacs in no window mode to read mail using VM. I ssh from a Gnome terminal on a Solaris machine at work. TERM is generally set to "xterm" though I've also tried "gnome". Much of the time things work well, but there are times when I simply can't seem to get Emacs to properly refresh its windows. In these cases I typically wind up with almost nothing visible. If I know where I am (say, in VM), I can generally 'q'uit and start it up again. I suspect that works mostly because when I exit the mail program it brings me back to a window with substantially different content (say, the *scratch* buffer), so Emacs has to completely refresh then and refresh again when I restart VM. Is there something I can do to make this combination work better?
