I'm calling screen from a script and want to set the session name based on
run-time parameters. So I'm using a command similar to:

VARNAME=FOO
screen -S $VARNAME

Do you not need to still export VARNAME?


no, it should be being expanded by the shell, not screen, and exporting would only change its visibility inside screen. my guess is either a quoting issue. brad, can you paste the relevant lines of the actual script?
