Hi,

I would like to start a series of jobs in the background and log their
stdout in specific files. The idea is to use screen for this, and I
went ahead and typed
$ screen -d -m /path/to/my/exec
which puts the job nicely in the background. Let's log stdout:
$ screen -d -m /path/to/my/exec | tee output.log
What's wrong with using the -L option?
As a test, I created the following alias and ran it fine.
# alias ns9='if [ -f screenlog.0 ];then rm screenlog.0;fi &&
(/usr/bin/screen -S root -L -d -m time /usr/local/bin/program.sh; tail
-99f screenlog.0) && mv screenlog.0 my-test-screenlog.out'
# ns9
That seems to work nicely!
And I know it's finished when I see the "time" output.
If you want to run multiple sessions, then you might need to create a
working directory for each one and start the command in each directory
so that it will always have it's own screenlog.0 file.
Cheers
