Hello,
I have a distributed system simulation that runs a set of processes. Each
process logs interesting information to stderr. I have a another script that
generates a file with the command lines for each process in the simulation.
I have a script that creates an xterm(1) for each line in a file:
#!/bin/sh
# run_xterm - start an xterm(1) to run each line in stdin
xargs -l1 -t -i sh -c "xterm -e {} &"
I run it like this:
$ run_xterm < file_of_commands
I would like to use screen instead of xterm but screen always seems to want
to be attached to a terminal. I think the following illustrates my problem:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] cluster]$ screen
..
[EMAIL PROTECTED] cluster]$ cat > cmds
less /etc/inittab
less /etc/fstab
[EMAIL PROTECTED] cluster]$ xargs -l1 -t screen < cmds
screen less /etc/inittab
Must be connected to a terminal.
screen less /etc/fstab
Must be connected to a terminal.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] cluster]$
Should I be using expect or something that talks to ptys?
Is there a better way to start a set of processes, one per screen window?
Thanks,
Bob Bawn
