Re: Attaching to multiple sessions at the same time via split windows / tabs

[Kevin Van Workum]

Yeah, I wish you have a command or set of commands run when you reattach.

But, how about adding this to your .screenrc:

bind ^p eval 'select 0' 'split -v' 'focus right' 'select 1' 'split' 'focus down' 'select 2' 'focus left' 'split' 'focus down' 'select 3'

You'll have to completely close your detached sessions and start with a fresh session. Then just create your 4 windows and give the ^p command. Now you can detach/reattached/^p to get your set-up back with everything reattached.

Of course you don't have to bind this command to ^p. You can use anything you like.

Say I have 4 sessions that have been detached.  Once I get back to my machine, I would like to be able to see all 4 of them as split windows once I reattach (or tabs).

Is this possible?

In all my research, I have come across screen splitting tips, but that always creates a *new* session and does not allow me to reattach to an existing session.

Thoughts / suggestions?

Ideally:

1. Enter command "blah"
2. 4 split windows are setup; each reattached to one of my 4 previous sessions.
3. If split cannot be accomplished in this manner, I'd be OK with tabs as well.
