So I've got a bash script (run as a cron job) that currently runs tar
and redirects stdout and stderr to particular files.

I'd like to run the tar command through screen so that I can check in
on the process; also, the archive now spans two tapes, so using screen
will hold the process so I can swap manually and respond interactively
to tar's request for a new tape. To do this, I first tried just
prepending screen to the existing command:

/usr/bin/screen -dm tar [options] 2>{$file1} | tee {$file2}

I would either use screen's logging '-L', or "C-a H", or use something like
'script'.
