I don't like the idea of commands being executed in parallel in several screen windows without me seeing what's going on. If you want to try and save the history and scrollback, you can take a look into the bashrc and save_screenrc script inside one of the windows of SESSION_demo in the archive. That particular sequence of commands pretty much store/restore the history and scrollback to perfection. Its one of the nicer features I like about my scripts. It's like I never closed the bash window at all. =) > > I didn't really think about my options too much when I wrote this and > most of the hard work could be done by just parsing the window list > and some screen -X magic do it all a lot easier. > I too though of parsing the window list. But since window titles can contain spaces, it makes it kinda hard to parse it correctly. Perhaps with some regex magic. The real issue is capturing the window list.
