[SOLVED] Sending parameter to screen

sleftar · 11-05-2015, 01:50 AM

Hi guys,

I am trying to make an automated message for my game server running in linux.. Ubuntu 14.

I know how to send a message to screen

Code:

screen -S screenname -X stuff 'ls -l^M'

How to send a parameter to screen.
For example if

Quote:

a="ls -l"
screen -S screenname -X stuff '$a^M'

This does not send parameter a to screen. Do you know how I can do it?

Nevermind I solved it it should be like

Quote:

a="ls -l"
screen -S screenname -X stuff $a^M

without quotes.

It was like this

Quote:

screen -S screenname -X stuff '$a^M'
