Public bug reported:
>From the manpage (man 1 screen):
-R attempts to resume the youngest (in terms of creation time)
detached screen session it
finds. If successful, all other command-line options are ignored.
If no detached ses‐
sion exists, starts a new session using the specified options, just
as if -R had not
been specified. The option is set by default if screen is run as a
login-shell (actually
screen uses "-xRR" in that case). For combinations with the -d/-D
option see there.
Note: Time-based session selection is a Debian addition.
I have two detached sessions hanging:
[user@uqbar ~] screen -ls
There are screens on:
22457.pts-1.uqbar (16/01/2012 11:36:31) (Detached)
22042.pts-1.uqbar (16/01/2012 11:26:14) (Detached)
2 Sockets in /var/run/screen/S-user.
>From a terminal I get the following:
[user@uqbar ~] screen -R
There are several suitable screens on:
22457.pts-1.uqbar (16/01/2012 11:36:31) (Detached)
22042.pts-1.uqbar (16/01/2012 11:26:14) (Detached)
Type "screen [-d] -r [pid.]tty.host" to resume one of them.
Instead of resuming any detached session.
