Re: attaching detached sessions to the current one

I just do everything in screen. But if you're tired of doing C-a space to change screens, then just keep to one window in screen... ;) (To me, if you've got more than one screen, then you've got a reason to use screen all the time anyway...) "Aaron Davies" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > Yeah, p

Re: Setting title for ssh windows

This has been covered before I think, but the general answer is based on what shell you use. I use tcsh, and tcsh has a built-in variable called cwdcmd, which is by default executed after every "cd" command is issued. I have the following in my .cshrc file: if ($?TERM && ($TERM == "xterm" || $TE

Re: Am I running under X?

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

Re: Reestablishing ssh connections via screen: Conclusion

I don't understand why you don't just run one ssh session to the server, and run screen there with as many windows as you need for all the applications you are using, etc. When your notebook goes into hibernation, either start a new ssh connection or use the autossh as below to resume your ssh con

Re: screen screws up my emacs F# key bindings

These work just fine for me. Emacs gets a "f1" when I am in Screen. What terminal type is the shell where you started screen? Mine is "xterm" and I am using the UTF-8 character set (this is in PuTTY). Rusty Shackleford <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > My .emacs has a bunch of lines like > >

Re: TTY, PWD, and other useful strings in hardstatus, shelltitle, etc

What I do, is I use tcsh and have the following line in my .cshrc file: if ($?TERM && ($TERM == "xterm" || $TERM == "screen" || $TERM == "rxvt")) then alias cwdcmd 'echo -n "]2;"/[EMAIL PROTECTED]"$cwd]1;"{$HOST}""' cwdcmd endif Note that those control characters go like
