About the screen

[juno2]

I try to use the command "screen -R" to open a new screen for background process , but the new screen seens are not the same system setting eg. TERM and PATH etc, how to preserve the same system setting when open a new screen ? thx.

Add the line

export ENV=.kshrc

to /etc/profile, then set up your TERM PATH etc variable changes in $HOME/.kshrc

This will work for screen, and any other utilities that allow multiple sessions.

You should have posted in under Linux section.

you can use the $HOME/.screenrc file for the settings.

Each time you run $screen this file is read.

Also,you can use

$screen -T vt220
