Details:
Create a screen session like this:
> screen -S 2kinds
Then detach from the session, and try to reattach like this:
> screen -r 2kinds
You'll get this error message:
"There is no screen to be resumed matching 2kinds."
However "screen -list" shows that the screen session is still there:
> screen -list
There is a screen on:
10518.2kinds (12/06/2010 11:20:56 AM) (Detached)
The only way to reattach the session is to give the full pid.host to the -S
argument:
> screen -r 10518.2kinds
Note that this occurs even if there is only one session that was created with
the '2kinds' name. I originally thought the problem was due to ambiguity
between session names (more than one session with the same name, but different
PIDs). However, the above example shows that the problem occurs even when
there is only one screen session running.
