hmm... Think I resolved the issue of the ctrl-a d -- sequence, It appears screen -X allows for the use of tags, so the "detach" appears to be a substitute for the ctrl-A d sequence.. However, I'm still flumoxed on how to run a background process on the remote vm. The following "should" work, but

Hey Rick... More testing Not sure if you can use the "-x -r" attributes at the same time.. I'll def check it though. As a kludge/workaround.. I did a quick screen -ls to check if the session was attached/detached, and implemented the remote app based on that.. As I said a kludge ,but it work
