gnu-screen

I'm developing a Minecraft (Bukkit) server manager. It's porpuse is only to start it, stop it, back it up and check if it is running. The last one causes the problem. If I do like this to get the pid of the server: subprocess.Popen(["screen", "-dmS", "minecraft-server", "serverstart.sh"]) I get the pid of the screen command, not the startup-script. However it seems like the pid is always one underneath the pid of the startup-script, but I suppose this isn't relaiable. How can I get the pid of the java process? EDIT: I tried this, but ps returns with exit code 1 and no child pid. I think this

I'm looking for a way to clear both the scrollback and the visible screen at once in GNU screen. At the moment I use two separate bindings: C-a, C (which is the default one for clearing the visible text) bind _ eval "scrollback 0" "scrollback 15000" (which clears the scrollback) Can someone point me to how I can do both in one? Turns out you can just do: bind _ eval "clear" "scrollback 0" "scrollback 15000" Note that the order seems to matter: it doesn't seem to work every time if you have the "clear" at the end (it always clears the screen, but not always the scrollback). 来源： https:/

how can i bind more than one command to a single key in gnu-screen? I want to combine the two mappings bind c copy bind b eval "writebuf" "exec sh -c 'xsel --clipboard < /tmp/screen-exchange'" to a single one-key mapping. How can this be done? Does anyone know a good tutorial on this advanced configuration/scripting stuff for gnu-screen? Thanks in advance, Chris Pass each command as a separate argument to eval , e.g., eval "echo foo" "echo bar" . In your given scenario, I would think that just adding copy after eval would do what you want. I use bind \# eval focus "resize 130" for example to

I am new to GNU screen command. I created .screenrc file in my home directory and added below two lines( source ) to display the status bar. caption always caption string "%{= bW}%3n %{y}%t %{-}%= %{m}%H%?%{-} -- %{c}%l%?%{-} -- %D %M %d %{y}%c" but I am not seeing the status bar(after entering into screen mode). When I run source .screenrc , I am getting error "-bash: caption: command not found" . What am I missing here? Amaresh Narayanan Problem was that, I already started screen and then added the file .screenrc in my home directory, but active screens are not recognizing the .screenrc file

I'm running a game server on a remote server where I use a detached screen instance to leave it running. I'm now creating a script that can be used to shut down the server, back up all the vital files and start it up again, however I'm having a few difficulties with dealing with the screen. I assumed that I could just switch into the detached screen in the script (after the server had already been shut down) by calling screen -r in the script. But that doesn't seem to work because if I run the script from outside screen it just launches the server in that session. screen -r cd ~/servers

I often work in vi, suspend vi, run something on the cli, and then fg back into vi to work on the results. For instance, fixing errors that showed up when I ran the cli command. However, when I fg vi, vi "wipes" the current terminal buffer and I can't see the "last screenful" of terminal output in the scrollback buffer. Is there some setting in vi (or screen, I use screen) which would help me here? I have searched google for a long time with no answers. I also realize that there are other workflows that solve this problem, but they aren't perfect (run from inside vi means no shell completion,
