Re: screen session remember

[Neal Fultz]

I would probably tackle this on the shell side rather than in .screenrc.

 For example, in ~/.bashrc, on startup, we can check what the number of the screen is. And use PROMPT_COMMAND to update to the most recent eg using sed. 

# Screen only
if [ -n "$STY" ] ; then
  
    d1=/home/nfultz/projects

    SNUM=`screen -Q number`
    SNUM=d${SNUM%% *}

    if [ -n "${!SNUM}" ] ; then
        cd "${!SNUM}"
        PROMPT_COMMAND="$PROMPT_COMMAND; sed -i 's!$SNUM=.*!$SNUM='\$(pwd)'!' ~/.bashrc"
    fi

fi

This could/should be made much more robust but hopefully that shows that it is possible.
