Edit: So sorry! I really didn't do a good job of clearly stating what I needed. Going to completely rewrite my post so everything is clearly stated.
I'm having trouble writing a shell startup script for a linux server. It uses the bash shell if I remember correctly. I'm trying to write it so that the script created a screen session named 'main' that has 3 screens. The problem is, I have no idea how to do that. Also, one of the screens runs a command that needs the user to input a '0' and then press return, I was wondering if that can be done automatically (with piping?). Here's what I would like it to do in detail:
1. Create a screen session with the name 'main' (I think that uses the -S flag)
2. Attach to the session (perhaps already done in item 1?) and run this line:
3. Create a second screen (in the same session) and run this line:
4. Create a third and final screen and run this line (This is the command that also needs to take in the 0 and return after it is run):
5. Detach from the screen session
I would like the screens to have started not directly from the lines of code(I.E. run screen command, then run the line of code in the screen). This is because those programs are constantly running, if anything happens I would like for people to be able to just go back into that screen, kill the command and re-run it; without having to make the screen again.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Reason: Revising, organizing everything
I understand that by putting in entries into the /etc/inittab file. We can actually call the our scripts during startup.

Would the system wait for startserver.sh finish executing before it goes to another entry? and how long would it... (1 Reply)

If we place Sxx (startup script) and Kxx(shutdown script) in /etc/rc.d/rc2.d,then it would start and stop automatically(assume they are linked to other script that actually starts/stops).
is there really a link needed here to /etc/rc.d/init.d? if not,what is the use of this directory..?... (1 Reply)
Can someone please tell me how to run xsession startup scripts whenever I start or after I restart my X session? I'm not trying to do anything fancy I just want this to run. This makes life a lot easier when I use a dual monitor.
