I'm calling screen from a script and want to set the session name based on run-time parameters. So I'm using a command similar to:
VARNAME=FOO screen -S $VARNAME Screen seems to just skip the variable. Is there a way to persuade screen to expand $VARNAME to FOO? I'd rather not have to build a case statement and hardcode every possible option.
