Is there a way to change the socket directory to $HOME/.screen? The

export SCREENDIR=$HOME/.screen
in your shell's startup... or wrap screen in a quick shell script
that sets the environment.
I've just finished slapping myself for not RTFM'ing. Thanks Will and
Adam. Sorry for the noise.
why do you want to change it? i know tmpcleaners have a tendency to
remove sockets from under /tmp, but you can always get them back with
pkill -CHLD screen
Wow, learned something new today !!! I always ssh into my ISP's shell
account and run mutt from a screen session.
# screen -R -D -U -S mutt mutt -y
I'ts the rare day when I close mutt down intentionally. Usually I just
connect and recall this previous command from history. Once I've done
that, it's too late to try your command. I'm not a command line junkie,
but is there a way to incorporate the 2 commands?
separating them with ; works fine:
pkill -CHLD screen; screen -DRUS mutt mutt -y
