That's odd. It works on my TF2 server just fine, using su in the same way you tried. The screen is owned by the srcds user, but if I log in as my regular user, I can do this:
su - srcds -c "screen -S tf2-server -X eval 'stuff status\015'" I enter the srcds user's password, and then the status command will run on the server's console. Have you tried logging in directly as the screen's owner (instead of going through "su") and trying the screen command that way? Crazy Canucks wrote: > That made no difference.
