Write a script something like this, and call it "screen". Or call it
"myscreen". Or whatever...
#!/bin/sh
# if no DISPLAY variable, then we are not in X
# DISPLAY might not be the best environment variable to test for but
# it should work
if [ -z "$DISPLAY" ]; then
exec /usr/bin/screen blah

Check to see if $DISPLAY is set.

How can I tell if I'm running under X in a shell script? If I'm in X, I
want to start screen: screen -m -c /my/config/file. If I'm not under X,
I want to start without the -m. It's an odd google to find the answer to
this question, so your wisdom is appreicated.
