Operating Systems HP-UX Get blank screen when killing a UNIX session on HP-UX Post 302919026 by rm-r on Friday 26th of September 2014 08:57:47 PM

Get blank screen when killing a UNIX session on HP-UX

Hi,
I have this Unix script that kills a user session. When I run it, my screen goes blank. How do I prevent the blank screen?

Ex: I open 2 Unix sessions. The main PID for my 1st session is 1234. In the second session I issue a "kill -HUP 1234". The first session gets killed but the second session goes blank (I must hit Enter to get a prompt again). I want to prevent this second session from going blank.

I have tried running the script in background (ie: &) and also redirected the output to /dev/null but nothing will do.

Ideas anyone?

Thanks.

SCREEN-IR(1)							   Axel Beckert 						      SCREEN-IR(1)

NAME
screen-ir -- Interactively Reattach to GNU Screen sessions SYNOPSIS
screen-ir [additional screen options ...] DESCRIPTION
screen-ir uses iSelect(1) to interactively reattach to running screen sessions. Use the screen option -d or -D if you want to reattach to attached screen sessions. Use the screen option -x if you want to attach to screen sessions without detaching them. FILES
screen-ir sources ~/.screen-irrc if it exists. It recognizes two variables: The contents of SCREEN_OPTIONS is given to screen(1) as command-line options. Default is -r. Use e.g. -rd if you always want to reattach to already attached screen sessions. The contents of ISELECT_OPTIONS is given to iselect(1) as command-line options. Default is empty. Use e.g. -f if you always want to see the interactive selection, even if there's only one screen session running, i.e. you have no choice. AUTHOR
