Say I have the following in my .screenrc: screen -t mutt mutt
If I accidentally exit my mutt process, I need to go through several steps to recreate the window, rename it, and create a new mutt process. One fix is to do something like this: screen -t mutt sh -c "while true; do mutt; sleep 1; done" But I don't much like that. For example, if the command is "ssh host" and host isn't defined, the command might fail many, many times before I noticed. I would want some kind of exponential backoff, respawn limits, and the like. Is there a better solution? Preferably a flag to the screen command that automatically respawns the command if it exits, with configurable backoff behaviour.
