The short answer afaik is that you cannot pass arbitrary options to a new screen session while starting it; you have to create a screen and then use -X to send commands to it. If this is a common problem, it might be worth looking at adding something like ssh's "-o key=value" syntax. The only problem I can forsee is that command lines could get ridiculously long… -- Aaron Davies aaron.dav...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ screen-users mailing list screen-users@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/screen-users
