Hi all,
I would really appreciate your help with this.
Suppose that I start a session like so:
$screen -dmS mysession
I would like a command that, at the same time:
1. Will create a new window named "newwindow" inside mysession
2. Will stuff "command" inside that new window
Any ideas how to do that?
Thank you in advance

PS. What I have tried and does not work:
$screen -S mysession -X stuff "command"
That will stuff "command" inside the *prexisting* window inside
mysession, but I would like a new window..
When you use "stuff" it helps to specify which window you want it to go
in. I would recommend naming the window, then using that as the target:
This is technically two commands, but one command line:
screen -t "test" ; screen -X at "test" stuff "echo test^V^M"
The first one creates a new screen window called 'test'. The second
one tells screen to stuff the string "echo test<return>" to the window
named "test".
You can put your session name stuff in there too.
