Hi Mario you can output escape sequence string to virtual terminal, so as to display any messages you like in hardstatus line.
bash has some convenient features PROMPT_COMMAND or PS1 to execute any commands before displaying shell prompt message. for example to display $(envname) in hardstatus line [[.bashrc]] # send message to screen hardstatus %h if [[ "$TERM" =~ "screen" ]]; then PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033k\033\0134\033k$(envname)\033\\"' endif // Shige _______________________________________________ screen-users mailing list screen-users@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/screen-users
