The man page for screen says that I can create a detatched screen running with a set command in it by doing this: $ screen -dm $command However, it doesn't work. Screen exits without creating the detached screen. If I say $ screen $command ...I get dropped into a screen session running $command as I would expect. What's the magic invocation I'm missing? Also, the next step will be for root to launch said screen session as someone else during boot time; am I asking for trouble by trying it? # su - user -c screen -dmS $Label $command Thanks for any insights or pointers to web resources I can use to learn from. -- /\oo/\ / /()\ \ David Mackintosh | dave@xxxxxxxxxx | http://www.xdroop.com
