Thanks, Bob. Adding the `</dev/null` redirection did the trick. Some of the background processes I was launching from screen already had stdout and stderr redirected to /dev/null via `&>/dev/null`, but they were still hanging the screen window, until adding the stdin redirection per your suggestion eliminated the problem. It's still a mystery as to why it's happening. I tried to reduce the `zombie_timeout` to small values like 0 and 1, and it didn't seem to have any effect. So I doubt that's the reason. Thanks, D. _______________________________________________ screen-users mailing list screen-users@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/screen-users
