Details:
I'm using a command line of the form:
screen -X at 0 echo 'something'
In order to pass a notification message to an attached screen session.
When I do this, in my screen session, I get the 'something' message, as was
passed from the command.
But subsequently, I also get a message of the form:
command from kirkland: echo something
Thus, I get two notifications, redundant information really:
something
command from kirkland: echo something
I think the 'echo' command is a special case. In all other cases, sure,
seeing that a command is being executed in your session makes perfect sense.
But in an 'echo', what you want is the actual text in your notification
buffer. I'm attaching a patch that fixes this. We will be carrying this in
Ubuntu's version of screen. Please consider and apply to the upstream
project. Thanks.
