autoscreen - Automatically start GNU screen without inception
Source autoscreen.sh
at the very END of your .*rc file.
source /path/to/autoscreen.sh [HOSTNAME] [STARTWAIT] [EXITWAIT]
If HOSTNAME is not empty, check that $HOSTNAME = HOSTNAME before starting (wildcards allowed).
Waits STARTWAIT seconds before starting screen (default 3).
Waits EXITWAIT seconds before exiting the shell after screen terminates (default 2).
When you start your shell, you will be notified that you are about to enter a screen session (^C to cancel).
When your screen session ends, you will be notified that your shell will exit (^C to cancel).
You can skip the countdown with any key besides ^C.
For help using GNU screen see the GNU screen manual.
