Re: New window closes immediately in Screen

[Brian Mathis]

Can you open a new shell inside an already open screen window?  Try to
run 'bash' from and already existing screen that's logged in to the
same machine you are running screen on.  Does that work?

Can you login to the system and start screen using another window,
like if you're using ssh, ssh into the machine from another terminal
window and try to start screen?
