But don't you have the logic in place already:
$SCREEN "${screen_op...@]}" -p "$screen_window_name" -X eval "select
'$screen_window_name'" "stuff \"$jump_cmd\""
if [ $? != 0 ] ; then
# instead of dying:
# 1) check $STY
# 2) check screen -ls
# if ok; then screen -X ...
# else launch term or die
fi
But I probably still haven't understood Jostein's setup ;-)

Great.

Perfect. For me at least, hehe.

Or use the full executable path:
MUTT=`type -p mutt`
if [ -z "$MUTT" ]; then
die "$MUTT is not in PATH, set MUTT variable"
fi
While we are at it:
diff --git a/muttjump b/muttjump
index cb7e4fb..f2b7ec7 100755
--- a/muttjump
+++ b/muttjump

btw: Does the <enter><enter> in the Mutt macro work for you? For
me the second one seems to have no effect.
