Title: Automating GNU screen startup
At work I use GNU screen with one window per server (ssh connection),
and when I loose my screen, it takes minutes to rebuild the naming and
the ssh connections ... So I searched and found a PHP version on
[Jon's blog](http://snowulf.com/2011/09/13/automated-screen-launch/)
but I don't like PHP and don't want a PHP cli on my machine (even to
start screen !) So I rewrote it in bash (to have brace expansion !)
Enjoy:
:::bash
#!/bin/bash -f
SCREEN_NAME=julien
SERVERS=$(echo {julien,root}@dev root@{www,sql}{1,2} root@media{1,2,3,4,5,6}
screen -dmS "$SCREEN_NAME"
NUM=0
for SERVER in $SERVERS
do
NUM=$((NUM + 1))
screen -S "$SCREEN_NAME" -X screen
if [ z"$SERVER" != z"" ]
then
screen -S "$SCREEN_NAME" -p $NUM -X title "$SERVER"
screen -S "$SCREEN_NAME" -p $NUM -X stuff "ssh $SERVER $(printf \\r)"
fi
done
printf "Done, now you can join your screen with :\n"
printf "$ screen -dr -S $SCREEN_NAME\n"
Don't forgot to start your ssh-agent just before starting this script!
PS: If you don't have an ssh-agent, you may want to remove the `$(printf
\\r)` and press enter yourself.
