I would probably tackle this on the shell side rather than in .screenrc. For example, in ~/.bashrc, on startup, we can check what the number of the screen is. And use PROMPT_COMMAND to update to the most recent eg using sed.
# Screen only if [ -n "$STY" ] ; then d1=/home/nfultz/projects SNUM=`screen -Q number` SNUM=d${SNUM%% *} if [ -n "${!SNUM}" ] ; then cd "${!SNUM}" PROMPT_COMMAND="$PROMPT_COMMAND; sed -i 's!$SNUM=.*!$SNUM='\$(pwd)'!' ~/.bashrc" fi fi This could/should be made much more robust but hopefully that shows that it is possible. -Neal Fultz On Wed, Mar 13, 2024 at 2:12 PM aotto <aotto1...@t-online.de> wrote: > Thanks for the answer - this hint I already use. > > → but I would like to have a "replacement" which is always "up-to-time" > > On 13.03.24 22:01, Anton Sharonov wrote: > > On Wed, Mar 13, 2024 at 08:46:30PM +0100, aotto wrote: > >> I have a “screen session” with 10 screens and after > >> rebooting I want each screen (0-9) to start in the same > >> directory in which it was closed. > > Maybe not exactly what you are asking for, but you can > > hardcode your shells to curtain path on start using something > > like this in your ~/.screenrc: > > > > > > screen -t 0_vim > > screen -t 1_vim_doc > > ... continue with your number of shells ... > > at 0 stuff "cd ~/.vim^j" > > at 1 stuff "cd ~/.vim/doc^j" > > ... etc ... > > > > > > With best regards, Anton > > > >
