Thanks a lot Anatoly. I can't get it to work the way I want to. So let me say exactly what I want to do. I want to write a bash script that will: 1. I'm in screen right now. 2. I want to create a new window with a shell. if I had to press it on the keyboard it would be `C-a c` 3. I want to start a program in that window 4. I want to be able to nagivate to that window, from the first screen window by pressing `C-a "` and up/down and enter. How do I achieve this? 1. I tried: /usr/bin/screen -S gdbserver gdbserver port:1234 editor This simply run the process in the current window without even renaming it. 2. I tried: /usr/bin/screen -dmS gdbserver gdbserver port:1234 editor This runs a process somewhere in the background. I need it to be in this screen session. I want to be able to navigate to it if I need to. So again, how do I simply run screen (from the shell) and tell it to create a new window, in the screen session where I am right now, and run a program in that newly created window? Thanks in advance for your kind help and time Jenia _______________________________________________ screen-users mailing list screen-users@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/screen-users
