Hello is it possible to start multiple screen sessions with each session with an own command which is immediately started in one script? I want to start only one screen, and in this screen I need many sessions (normally started with ^A,C for create), but each session should directly start a command.
When I am in a screen, I can run this script “example.sh": #!/bin/bash screen program1.sh screen program2.sh which starts two new sessions (as if pressed Control+A then C two times) and ran program1 in the first, program2 in the second. This works. But I want to do this more automatically, because like this, I would need 50 script files (program1.sh, program2, … program50.sh). I only want to use 2 scripts with all commands in the scripts. I tried this script "multisessions.sh”: #!/bin/bash screen ./screensession.sh $1 myparam1 screen ./screensession.sh $1 myparam2 and “screensession.sh” is: #!/bin/bash cd /to/scripts/path command1 $1 command2 $1 So I started my script like this: multisession.sh myparam0 But now in my script “multisessions.sh” the second command is only started, if the first were finished. This is not what I want. All screen-sessions should open directly and start immediately their commands. Maybe I explain it less abstract by what I want to use it for: I want to scrape (download) the Wikipedia (different ones) with a special tool (“mwscrape”) but as the wikipedia is so huge, I need to start many “scrapes” at the same time, each beginning from another letter. At the moment, I do it with manual start of many sessions (Control+A, C, all my commands, next session with Control+A, C etc.), which is a long run. As I re-scrape the Wikipedia from time to time, it would be nice if I had only two scripts, starting them with one command, which I can start each month automatically through cron. Is this possible?
