Ah; actually, I don't believe octals are interpreted from the
commandline (a shortcoming, IMO). Anyway, to get them to screen you'd
need to put them in single quotes.
You'll have to send the literal character; the following adaptation
should work:
while true; do screen -S 19268 -X stuff $'signon\n'; sleep 60; done
If you don't have a shell that supports the non-standard $'...' syntax,
then use:
while true; do screen -S 19268 -X stuff \
"$(printf '%b' 'signon\015')"; sleep 60; done
Note that I used carriage return instead of newline; the shell
automatically removes trailing newlines from command substitutions.
Terminals are typically set up to treat carriage returns and newlines
the same (actually, I believe they accomplish this by transforming
newlines into carriage returns).
