SCREEN command troubles

dsheller · 01-19-2004, 06:47 PM

Alright, I have a script i wrote to basically start a server with the screen command as so:

screen -AmdS bf1942 ./start.sh +game BF1942 +statusMonitor 1

All worked, for a while. What I found is that when I started the server say in my user account, david, then wished to reattach the window in another account, lets say, das. I was unable to do so because of the following error:
"There is no screen to be resumed matching bf1942."

If anyone knows a way I could do this please help!

Ok I use the following command:

screen -AmdS root/bf1942 ./start.sh +game BF192 +statusMonitor 1

Then I get this:
Must run suid root for multiuser support.

Then I move into super user mode, which I don't want to have to do, start it. However, I cannot reaatach from another name. Anyone know what I am doing wrong?
