If I say 'screen emacs' then it starts a new screen running emacs. But 'screen -D -R emacs', if there is no existing session, starts a new one but does not start the emacs command. I had expected it to connect to any existing session, and if there were none, to make a new one running emacs.
If this is not supported, then the above command should give an error message rather than ignoring the command to run. % screen --version Screen version 4.00.02 (FAU) 5-Dec-03 -- Ed Avis <e...@waniasset.com> _______________________________________________ screen-users mailing list screen-users@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/screen-users
