Public bug reported: The screen package needs to change the -L switch feature so that a screenlog.0 filename can be given a specific directory/filename output such as doing:
screen -L /tmp/screenlog.1 (2, 3, etc) Otherwise in order to run multiple screens with -L they each have to be executed from different directories, because they'd all output to the same screenlog.0 file. The only alternative workaround to this is doing: screen -dmS workspace | tee screen.log or screen -dmS workspace && screen -S workspace -X stuff $'<command> | tee screen.log\n' Conclusion, To recode the -L switch to allow to explicitly specify custom filename/directory location for screenlog.0 output ? ** Affects: screen (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1714182 Title: Cannot specify customized filename for output logging (-L flag) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/screen/+bug/1714182/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
