The man page for screen says that I can create a detatched screen
running with a set command in it by doing this:
$ screen -dm $command
However, it doesn't work. Screen exits without creating the detached
screen.
If I say
$ screen $command
...I get dropped into a screen session running $command as I would
expect.
What's the magic invocation I'm missing?
Also, the next step will be for root to launch said screen session as
someone else during boot time; am I asking for trouble by trying it?
# su - user -c screen -dmS $Label $command
Thanks for any insights or pointers to web resources I can use to
learn from.
