Export your SSH variables for use with GNU screen

README.textile

1. Put scratch in ~/bin/
2. Put itch in your .bashrc
3. Start screen with ‘scratch’ instead of screen (SCReen ATtaCH)
4. As soon as you’re in your screen, if it’s not a new screen, `itch` that scratch!

Thanks to Samat Jane

itch

# Put this in your .bashrc
alias itch='source "$HOME/.screen/session-variables"'

scratch

#!/bin/bash
# Wrapper script for screen

if [ -n "$SSH_CLIENT" ]; then
  mkdir -p "$HOME/.screen"

  # Variables to save
  SSHVARS="SSH_CLIENT SSH_TTY SSH_AUTH_SOCK SSH_CONNECTION DISPLAY"

  for x in ${SSHVARS} ; do
    (eval echo $x=\$$x) | sed  's/=/="/
s/$/"/
s/^/export /'
  done 1> "$HOME/.screen/session-variables"
fi

exec screen -d -R -A
