I don't think screen has the tmux equivalent of hooks... I haven't thought this through, but two alternatives spring to mind: A) Add this feature to screen Shouldn't be too hard I think... just something which writes the session name to a (configurable) file somewhere upon creating, attaching and detaching. B) A heartbeat script Create a new (hidden) screen window and run something like: while true ; sleep 5 ; echo "$STY" > "$HOME/.screen.lastsession" Obviously this would still run when the screen is detached, so you'd have to add some logic to detect that and pause the update. You could possible add something in .screenrc to spawn this automatically. Personally, I think I'd patch screen and contribute the code.
