Michael, Thank you for your response. I successfully tried your suggestion. FYI, I was also able to enter a string into stdin in the following more-convoluted manner: STRING > FILENAME screen -X bufferfile FILENAME screen -X readbuf screen -X paste .
Thank you again. Cheers, William To pass a command to a screen session to be intrepreted from stdin use the following: screen -X stuff "echo hello^M" However make sure to generate the ^M by pressing Ctrl-V Enter. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Passing-string-into-stdin-of-screen-tp30516794p30541435.html Sent from the Gnu - Screen mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ screen-users mailing list screen-users@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/screen-users
