screen-wrappers

'screen-wrappers' project home page

The screen-wrappers project provides a collection of programs that wrap various common invocations of the GNU screen(1) program.

The current version provides only the screen-ls(1) program, which will format the output of 'screen -ls' into a table (which improves readability), display the screen session names without the leading pid value (for easier sorting), etc.

The goal of the 'screen-wrappers' project is to provide a central location to collect tools that wrap screen invocations. It is hoped that productizing and sharing these tools will lead both to improvements of the tools themselves, help document best practices and/or useful screen recipes, and otherwise make them available to a wider audience.

Installation should be as simple as:

    $ ./configure   # add a --prefix=path/to/some/location to install someplace other than beneath /usr/local
    $ make
    $ make check    # optional, but encouraged
    $ make install

Once installed, you will want to read:

• screen-ls(1)
