I can do a "ps -ef|grep PID" and then subtract 2 (one for the grep and one for the parent PID). But that isn't a good solution in my opinion.Nope, not very efficient, I wouldn't say. How about this? ps -eo ppid= | grep PID | wc -lDon't forget that the PID in question is that of the SCREEN process and not the screen process.
But it doesn't help you much on a general basis, as a screen usually gets a bit fragmentet in its numbering of windows after a while. you may have N windows, but there is a big chance that they are not numbered 1 to N.
