cat <<EOF
Usage: ${0##*/} [ options ] sess_name command
interact with gnu screen
${0##*/} provides a possibly simpler interface to interacting with screen.
options:
-c|--create create the session, fail if it exists
-X|--command pass command through to screen (-X)
-k|--keep-open keep the new window open after running command
-K|--keep-open-timeout TIME
keep window open for 'TIME' seconds after command
finishes
-t|--title TITLE create new window with title 'TITLE'
-v|--verbose increase verbosity
-p|--window WINDOW run in existing window 'WINDOW'
-q|--quit quit the session, closing all windows
fail if it does not exist
-R|--new-if-needed create a new session if 'sess_name' does not exist
-s|--stuff use "stuff" to execute command rather than 'screen'
requires --window.
-x|--kill kill a window (requires --window)
Example:
- create a new screen session (failing if it exists)
$ ${0##*/} mysession --create
- run a command via 'exec' in window 0
$ ${0##*/} mysession --window 0 ls
- create a new window and run a shell there with title 'newwin'
shell will close when exited
$ ${0##*/} mysession --title newwin /bin/bash
- stuff a string into 'newwin' (hopefully at at shell prompt)
$ ${0##*/} mysession --title echo hi world
- forcefully kill the window 'newwin'
$ ${0##*/} mysession --window newwin --kill
- clean up, killing all processes and windows
$ ${0##*/} mysession --quit
