I did this a while back. It got a bit unusable on a remote machine, but it could work for you: Create a script, and use this in your inittab (or however you launch your VTs) Use 'tty' to determine your TTY name Look for a screen session matching that name. If it doesn't, create it. If it does, attach to it. Should be pretty straight forward. I used a technique like this to separate shell history files per VT for a friend of mine. -Devon Mar 31, 2013 22:20?Tony Baechler <tony at baechler.net> ??????: > On 3/31/2013 1:26 AM, Kerry Hoath wrote: >> Control a DD will power-detach, >> exit screen and kill the parent shell does that help? > > I'll try that, but that isn't what I want.

I have the other lines already there. I'm familiar with the nethack game and I think I saw the option referenced somewhere, but I'm not sure what the point of it is. > > _______________________________________________ > Speakup mailing list > Speakup at linux-speakup.org > http://linux-speakup.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/speakup
