Hello,

I want to perform commands on a detached screen without attaching it. It
almost works, problem is, I have to attach/detach it first..

This doesn't work, "test" is never "stuffed" to test-screen:

Code:
screen -dmS test-screen; screen -S test-screen -X stuff test; screen -r
test-screen

However, this works fine:

Code:
screen -dmS test-screen; screen -r test-screen;

screen -d;

screen -S test-screen -X stuff test; screen -r test-screen

The difference is that I attached/detached it, but the screen has to start
in a detached mode and stay that way..

Any ideas how to make this work without attaching the screen first?

Thanks.
