tags 426328 = pending thankyou Hi,
I've now implemented a fix on my own to make the program's behaviour match the documentation. Plain '-q -ls' tells you only the existence and number of non-dead screens (9 for no sockets at all, 10 for some sockets (which may be dead) and +1 for each non-dead) - all combinations involving '-r' or '-x' really try to attach to each socket they find and return the number of successful attempts + 10 (so -qdr -ls is the same as -qx -ls because it doesn't matter for testing purposes if the other display would be detached). Oh, and a side note: the output of 'screen -ls -q' is correct: ] [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ screen -ls ] There is a screen on: ] 2395.pts-7.hejre (Attached) ] 1 Socket in /var/run/screen/S-jcn. ] ] [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ screen -ls -q ] No Sockets found in /var/run/screen/S-jcn. ] ] [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ Maybe it should be reworded to "no *matching* sockets found"... the manpage says about the '-ls' option "...or the specified parameter, if any", i.e. -ls takes a match parameter just like '-r': ] [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ screen -ls jcn/ -q ] [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ (I'll fix the synopsis info for -ls in one of my future uploads.)
