I figured out what my problem was. I needed to "screen -r xxx" as the user I started the screen as. Anyway, I wrote a simple script that chmods /dev/pts/0 to 666 then su's the "screen -r" command. Works perfectly.
Had nothing to do with su, as usual with my problems with Linux, it was permissions and ignorance.... :) Drek Anthal wrote: > Why not just create a user, like l4d, and run the process from that > account.
