[opensuse] screen annoyance
I'm puzzled.. I experiment a little with screen, and I'm trying to send a command to an application running in a detached window. I use something like this: screen -S testapp -X eval "stuff quit^M" If I have an ATTACHED screen session 'testapp', the command 'quit' is properly sent to it from another shell, and the application quits as expected. BUT, if the same screen is running DETACHED, nothing happens. The application is started with 'screen -S testapp -d -m theapplication' How can I get a command sent to the detached session? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

One more bump.. Really noone that knows this? Or even if it's at doable? Anders. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
