Ah, sorry. I misunderstood what you were asking
I've never used
screen, but it certainly seems to be intended for use in interactive shells.
I can't even get a basic
screen command to work! Did you test that part in isolation?
What is the end goal - what are you trying to do? Is the use of
screen necessary?
