Is there a way for me to call this without having to do that?
The colon command expect to have a newline at the end of the supplied command. You can add that by embedding one in the command: screen -X colon 'activity "Activity - - in window %n" ' However, colon is intended for interactive commands, while 'screen -X' is for noninteractive commands. You can cut out the middleman with: screen -X activity "Activity - - in window %n" -- ...computer contrarian of the first order... / http://aperiodic.net/phil/ PGP: 026A27F2 print: D200 5BDB FC4B B24A 9248 9F7A 4322 2D22 026A 27F2 --- -- Anyone who has never hacked sendmail.cf has no soul.
