bash: screen command: detach process renaming it and showing the changes in the gnome-system-monitor

  • 772
screen -S myname -dm /processpath

or

screen -t myname -dm /processpath

does not affect the name displayed by gnome-system-monitor which is always "screen". How can I change it?

bash process screen

    You can make a symlink to the screen binary like this:

    ln -s `which screen` my_special_screen

    And then run it:

    ./my_special_screen -dm /processpath

    The -t name option is only useful when selecting a screen process to attach to with screen -x if you have multiple screen instances running.
