Re: using screen in a script

hey brett,

You'll probably want to do something like

export SCREENDIR=/home/someuser/tmp
screen -d -m /path/to/whatever/you/want_to_execute.sh

The SCREENDIR environment var just tells screen where to store it's PID's,
and I had trouble getting it to work until I added that first...

cheers,

dave.
