Details:
screen should provide, say an option 'n'(n of Name) which should create exact
named session. This helps users who use multiple screens.
There is already an option -S that names the screen sessions
with 'pid'.<Name> but that is not so useful, considering that each
time user has to reattach to screen, the pids has to be remembered.
In following example the new session created is 12139.Test which makes it less
user friendly. It will be nice if it creates session
exactly with name 'Test'
[mohahmad@mohahmad-lnx ~]$ screen -dmS Test
[mohahmad@mohahmad-lnx ~]$ screen -list
There are screens on:
12139.Test (Detached)
For an end user, I would prefer following instead.[notice the
n option replacing the S option]
[mohahmad@mohahmad-lnx ~]$ screen -dmn Test
mohahmad@mohahmad-lnx ~]$ screen -list
There are screens on:
Test (pid:12139, Detached)
-M
