The problem I'm facing with is that "-X stuff `printf "stop\r"`" Doesn't work if the process has never been "screen -x $PROCESS" (attached to the screen and then Ctr-A-D)
So is there a way to make "stuff" work without that the screen has to be attached once?

I finally gave up and installed the prepackaged version of 'screen', but I really want to get a better understanding of why my compilation of 'screen' failed on HP-UX 11i using GNU gcc (also from a prepackaged version). Whenever I would try to run './configure' to prep for building screen, it... (4 Replies)
Hello,
One of the things I like about screen is that it has a scrollback buffer, which if you go into the copy mode, will let you go back for a specified number of line. Is there a way to extend the number of scrollback lines in screen? I've looked thoroughly online and I could not find a... (2 Replies)
I'm trying to get GNU screen to show the output of "uptime" for the host being accessed in the current window, but unfortunately, no matter what window I go in, it shows the uptime for the host I originally launched screen in ("adminhost").
Does anyone know how to get this to update from the... (0 Replies)

I generate a hardcopy (C-a h) of an ncurses screen which has some formatting on it (boxes, highlights).
If I "cat" the file, i get only text.
If I do a cat hardcopy.n | less , then i see a lot of control characters where the boxes are.
most hardcopy.n shows me a hexdump of the file.

After I do CTRL-" to show all of my screen sessions, I typically use the up and down arrows to navigate up and down.
Suddenly this has changed, and instead only "j" and "k" seem to work for up and down.
This has changed in the middle of my screen session. First one changed, and then the... (1 Reply)

DMXAddScreen(3X)DMXAddScreen(3X)NAME
DMXAddScreen - attach a new back-end screen
SYNOPSIS
#include <X11/extensions/dmxext.h>
Bool DMXAddScreen(Display *dpy,
const char *displayName,
unsigned int mask,
DMXScreenAttributes *attr,
int *screen);
DESCRIPTION
DMXAddScreen() attaches a back-end screen to the Xdmx(1) server, in place of the previously detached back-end server specified by screen.
displayName is the name of the new back-end display, mask specifies the field in attr that are active, and screen returns the new Xdmx(1)
screen number for the attached screen.
The information stored in mask and attr is identical to that used by the DMXChangeScreenAttributes(3X) and DMXGetScreenAttribues(3X)
functions.
RETURN VALUE
DMXAddScreen() will return True if the screen was successfully attached, and False otherwise. False will be returned if the -addremove-
screens command line option was not specified on the Xdmx(1) command line, the input value of screen is out of range, screen is not cur-
rently detached, displayName cannot be opened, has unexpected visuals, or has characteristics that do not match the previously detached
screen.
DMXAddScreen() can generate BadLength, BadAlloc, and BadValue errors.
NOTES
Attributes that are not specified will default to 0. This may lead to unintended results.
Unlike other functions in the DMX(3X) API, this function uses screen for both input and output.
