I am having difficulty in starting screen in detatched mode of 80 columns and 43 lines. It seems when attach that initally the terminal is 25 lines and then the first time I attach it resizes itself to 43 lines.
This can be seen with a simple screen -A -d -m where the .screenrc file has height -d 43 80 in actual fact I am trying to get an application started in the detatched screen which requires a 43 line display. The application starts displaying 1/2way down the screen when started detatched and then corrects itself the first time you attache to screen. If you start the application while screen is attached everything displays correctly. I have tried a number of things to try and get this displaying correctly such as stty rows 43 cols 80 export LINES=43 /usr/bin/screen -A -d -m -S OPS After this I send screen -S OPS -p 0 -X eval 'stuff "export TERM=xterm\015"' screen -S OPS -p 0 -X eval 'stuff "stty cols 80 rows 43\015"' screen -S OPS -p 0 -X eval 'stuff "my_legacy_application\015"' then I join the detatched session screen -x The application still starts off half way down the screen, Once I start typing it changes to displaying from the top as it should but it doesn't redraw itself so the display is all messed up. The only way I can get it to look right is to exit out of the app and then manually restart it. also changing the terminal type doesn't seem to have any effect. Am I doing something wrong out of ignorance or is this a limitation of the program itself. -- Best Regards, -- David -------- How can you be in two places at once when you're not anywhere at all? _______________________________________________ screen-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/screen-users
