Anyone know if this is possible with GNU screen?
I would like to have a macro or keyboard shortcut whereby the following actions are performed:
1. Open new screen window (CTRL-A C) 2. ssh to some $host 3. Rename current screen as $host (CTRL-A A $host)
I can see that typing "screen" while within a screen session opens a new window, however I'm not clear on how to automate steps 2 and 3.
Under bash, I have a function defined like so: function ss () { screen -t $1 ssh $* }
Then, I simply type: ss hostname
If I need to pass any options, then I simply stick it on the end, and the resulting screen window is named the hostname. If you do not want the fqdn, then use the .ssh/config file to set up aliases using the Host/Hostname.

Nice, this is helpful. I used "ssc" instead because there appears to be a built in ss command.
