Hi, I have been using screen for about 4 months now and I cannot live without it anymore!!
There is one thing that I would like to be able to do which I have attempted to solve a few times and have searched here and google for - so far I haven't been able to find anything. I would like to be able to open a new window (C-a C-c) in the directory that I create the new window from. What I have found so far has only been to put the pwd in the hardstatus line. What I would like to do is something like the following: backtick 1 5 5 cat $HOME/.screen/win.$WINDOW.pwd chdir "%1`" where win.$WINDOW.pwd contains the most recent directory that $WINDOW cd'd to. But screen doesn't like this, it give an error: %1`: No such file or directory I can get a particular window to place its pwd in the required file easily enough with a couple of lines in the .bash_prompt but I can't get the screen to read the file or change the directory it uses. Does anyone know how to do this? tia _________________________________________________________________ Who's friends with who and co-starred in what? http://www.searchgamesbox.com/celebrityseparation.shtml _______________________________________________ screen-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/screen-users
