capture the output of a detached screen


Recommended Posts

The main purpose for this is to use with my bittorrent client: I run bittorrent in the background using the screen command.

I would like a nightly cron job to list all my active screen jobs and emal me the result.

"screen -ls" will list how many screen sockets I have active, but I would like to take a snapshot of each, so that I can see what torrents I still have open (I regularly seed 5-10 torrents but not always the same ones).

 

I saw nothing in the man page that would allow a screen to take a snapshot of each screen. Is this even possible?

 

Thanks
