With the
screen
command, the -X
option allows you to execute a command in the specified screen session, but when you try to use it when creating a *new* screen, e.g:
screen -dmS -S downloader -X "wget https://google.com "
you get the error No screen session found.
. So it's clear the the -X
option only works for pre-existing screen sessions.
Is it possible to specify a command to be run on the creation of a *new screen*? If it's not possible in screen
, is it possible in another multiplexer like tmux
?
