I attached this question to my previous thread but it sort of got taken over, so I'll try again:
I get attaching/detaching
sessions and saving/attaching layouts apart from one thing: Either I'm
doing it wrong or sessions as well as saved layouts only last until the
computer is shut down, right? (Since the target audience is continually
running servers?) For sessions, I believe I can reestablish most of the
info contained in a 'session' by using commands in the .screenrc config
file but layouts? If I always want the terminal to be split and the
right hand partition to be exactly 56 blocks wide and load a window
running my status script?
