Summary: Run backtick commands asynchronously Project: GNU Screen Submitted by: lhunath Submitted on: Wed 16 Mar 2011 09:24:31 AM GMT Category: User Interface Severity: 3 - Normal Priority: 5 - Normal Status: None Privacy: Public Assigned to: None Open/Closed: Open Discussion Lock: Any Release: 4.0.3 Fixed Release: None Planned Release: None Work Required: None _______________________________________________________ Details: Currently, any backtick commands you execute within screen hang the terminal emulator. Which means, if you backtick execute a command every so often that takes more than a few milliseconds to execute, it gets insanely irritating as your terminal stalls while using it every so often. There should be no delay whatsoever. To do that, the backtick command would need to be executed asychronously and the output would have to be read in and used as soon as the command's process has completed, which could be a few milliseconds or a few minutes later. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?32801> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/
