I'm using 'screen' as a terminal emulator to communicate to a serial device. However, I would like to script communication with this device. Does anyone know how I can either: 1. start a screen terminal with a command line argument that will be interpreted as stdin, or 2. Pass a string into stdin of a running screen session?
My thought for option #2 was to use a combination of 'screen -X' and 'eval STR', where STR is the string I want to pass in. However, none of the following combinations were successful: screen -X "eval STR" screen -X "colon eval STR" screen -X "colon"; screen -X eval STR" screen -X "exec EXECUTABLE_SCRIPT_FILE" Does anyone have any suggestions on how to correctly accomplish the above task? Any suggestions about how I can pass strings directly into the serial device would also be welcomed.
