Hello, that's my first mail on GNU mailing lists, i had some experience with GNU Screen, but i want help to stop the blinking, when for example you are running screen and you press backspace.

sending an arbitary command to a detached session
Hi, From the screen documentation, it looks like something similar to the following should work, but it doesn't. If it is not already clear from the commands below, I want to send an arbitrary command to run in a detached screen instance. Any recipe that works would be appreciated. Please CC me on any reply.

Re: screen TERM environment problem after upgradation
* J. Bakshi had this to say on [03 Feb 2010, 09:26:05 +0530]:
Dear list,
I have the following setting in .screenrc from the beginning
``
shell -$SHELL
# for locale charset
setenv LC_CTYPE en_US.UTF-8
setenv TERM xterm
hardstatus alwayslastline
hardstatus string '%{= kW}%-Lw%{= Gk}%50%n%f* %t%{= kW}%+Lw% %{=
Gk}%-=%D %d %M %Y %c:%s%{-}'
# detach on hangup
autodetach on
``
I have upgraded my suse box from 11 to 11.1 and the screen version is
now screen-4.0.2-162.35
I have found that vim is not working properly under screen and echo
$TERM reports
`
screen
``
Where it should be xterm according to .screenrc. If I set the variable
manually with TERM=xterm then the problem is solved but screen is not
taking the value from .screenrc. Any clue why it is not working with the
upgraded screen ?
Instead of setting the TERM variable, try using the 'term' command for
screen.
4.0.2 is very very old. If possible, I would highly recommend upgrading
to 4.0.3.

I have a similar problem with my setup. (I use an
auto-maximizing window manager (i3, and before that ion3), and when
I open a terminal (rxvt-unicode), with screen in it,
How do you start rxvt-unicode? How do you create/attach to a session in
rxvt-unicode?
The way I start screen:
x-shell (my own custom script)
#!/bin/bash
set -e -u -o pipefail || exit 1
test ${#} -eq 0
export SHELL='/bin/bash'
export XCONSOLE_TITLE='shell'
exec x-console screen -RR
exit 1
What is behind x-console:
x-console
#!/bin/bash
set -e -u -o pipefail || exit 1
test ${#} -ge 1
title='x-console'
test -z ${XCONSOLE_TITLE:-} || title=${XCONSOLE_TITLE}
exec urxvt -title ${title} -e $...@}
exit 1
So actually it boils down to:
urxvt -title shell -e screen -RR
screen thinks
that the size of the terminal is smaller (80x25?), but after I press
any key and the program redraws something the correct size is found.
(This happens only about 33% of the times.)) (I use the latest (or at

Perhaps you could share your .screenrc with us, in case something in
there is triggering the issue?
Contents of my setup files:
.screenrc
startup_message off
shelltitle 'sh'
shell -/bin/bash
caption always
caption string '%{= }%{+ w}| %-w%{+ r}%n%f%t%{+ w}%+w |%=| %{+ m}%H%{+
w} | %{+ w}%Y-%m-%d/%c%{+ w} | %{+ w}(%l)'
hardstatus ignore
hardstatus string '%h'
activity 'screen activity:[%n]'
bell_msg 'screen bell:[%n]'
vbell_msg 'screen vbell:[%n]'
vbell on
maxwin 10
fit
autodetach on
#bindkey -d -k kb stuff ^H
sleep 1
What version of screen are you guys using? If you could try out the
current development version from git
(http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=screen.git) and see if the problem
is fixed there, that'd be very great.
My versions are (on Archlinux):
* screen: 4.0.3-8
* rxvt-unicode: 9.07-1
BTW: I think this is a problem rooting from RXVT, because even
alsa-mixer started as `urxvt -e alsamixer` sometimes miss-behaves.
(When I have some time available I'll also try the version from
Git. But the current problem is not that pressing to me.)
Cheers,
Sadrul

Ciprian.

However, it can be problematic for when we merge in the scripting support. For example, a script could store the window pointers somewhere, and use them in a callback. A dynamic malloc will either cause this to crash, or require complicated checks in the script (or the script loaders). So to keep it 'forward-compatible', perhaps increase the default limit to 100, and allow increasing the limit only when creating a new session. How does that sound? I think 100 sounds reasonable. Agreed. I also like the idea of being able to specify it at session creation time. Just an FYI, I have already made this change. Screen already had a command 'maxwin', execpt previously, it was not possible to increase the value of maxwin. Now, the initial value is set to 100, and it can be increased to a higher value, but you would have to do it before any window is created. (so you would put 'maxwin 500' in your .screenrc before any 'screen' command you might have).

I don't think that's possible. When you are specifying the session name, wouldn't it make sense to specify the config filename in there too? (or perhaps create a shell wrapper/alias to do it for you?) For example, screen.sh: #!/bin/sh screen -c .screenrc-$1 -S $@ with this script, you could do 'screen.sh sessionname --other-params' Or am I missing something? Well, I have one .screenrc in which i have 'source .screenrc-$SESSION'. Typically such a file contains which programs i want to start in that session or other spesific setup. Now i have to use a wrapper to set the SESSION-variable before i start screen, but it would be more convenient if screen suppled a way to do that without having to use such a wrapper. -- Peder Stray ___ screen-users mailing list screen-users@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/screen-users
