Re: screen removes utmp entry for parent login?

2013-06-14 Thread Joe Zbiciak
As I recall, if screen has utmp support and can write utmp, it will remove your login session from utmp, since screen will now multiplex all of your other session windows over that one tty, and it doesn't necessarily make sense to leave that no-longer-unique tty as your "current login." The def

Mark, I don't have a solution for you, but a question that might lead toward the solution: In order to launch successfully (even in a detached mode), does screen need a controlling tty, a valid setting for $TERM, and valid termios information (screen dimensions)? I think it might. When you l

Howdy! I seemed to have caused Screen 4.0.2 to freeze while sending commands to it in a too-rapid-fire fashion. I was flipping rapidly between screens, going into Copy Mode, and the screen I was going into Copy Mode on was also busily scrolling by messages. (My purpose in going into Copy Mod

"Me too!" Freaky thing is, this *may actually be possible*. If screen develops the capability to import TTY FDs from another process, then the answer may be as simple as a wrapper around your shell that does little more than hold the FDs for your TTY, and pipes them through. (Well, it'd al
