Thanks. I don't know what non-tty clean means exactly, but I think I get your drift. I did a little googling, first hit said the reason it doesn't work is a feature[1]. They recommended testing if it's an interactive shell, and execing screen. Which is basically what I'm doing. As long as I don't have to type "screen" every time I login, I'm happy. :) 1.
