Package: screen
Version: 4.0.3-11+lenny1
Severity: normal
I have several screen sessions running:
pb...@paper:~$ screen -r
There are several suitable screens on:
13468.677_project2 (01/10/09 16:03:13) (Detached)
10259.bug66 (23/09/09 11:09:18) (Detached)
6870.mail (23/09/09 09:00:53) (Attached)
Type "screen [-d] -r [pid.]tty.host" to resume one of them.
And I want to resume working on 677_project2, so I use the unambiguous prefix
'677'.
pb...@paper:~$ screen -r 677
There is no screen to be resumed matching 677.
Note that this works normally.
pb...@paper:~$ screen -r bug
[detached]
It also doesn't work with the full name.
pb...@paper:~$ screen -r 677_project2
There is no screen to be resumed matching 677_project2.
I have to use the pid.name syntax.
pb...@paper:~$ screen -r 13468.677_project2
[detached]
I understand that a number might represent a PID rather than a name, but the
full name was definitely unambiguous, and since I had no screens running as PID
677 the short name should also be considered unambiguous.
Thanks for an otherwise fantastic program! (No really I mean it).
