Sending special characters to a shell script
|
|
|
| How would I go about doing this?
Basically I have a script that will hopefully:
1. Re-attach a screen, using screen -x <screen name>
2. Send some commands to the program running in the screen
3. De-attach, using "CTRL + A" and then "D"
The first two steps are fine, but I'm stuck on sending CTRL+A to the shell.
If anybody could help, that'd be great.
Thanks, disco.

Use "screen -d".

I can't. The application running in the screen is a server that always
has an open command line, if you see what I mean. Typing screen -d will
do nothing, because the program I am running in that window does not
recognise the command.
Thanks, disco.
