I need to periodically detach and reattach persistent screen sessions on a box
running AIX 5.3. The client is always a Linux machine. During the initial
session, everything works smoothly and terminal control sequences are
processed correctly. After working for a bit, I detach and leave screen in
the background.
Periodically, a cron job on the machine cleans up /tmp and removes the socket
for the screen session. When this occurs, I send it a SIGCHD to recreate it.
However after reattaching I find that screen control sequences and editing
commands like Backspace are either ignored or completely scrambled! Resetting
the usual suspect, LANG, TERM, etc. do not help.
Examples:
$ clear // totally ignored
The keyboard 'backspace' key appears to generate a LF character.
I cannot find anything obvious in the documentation that pertains to scrambled
key interpretation under this circumstance.
Any ideas what's going bad? I've never encountered this with screen sessions
on Linux hosts.
