 +===== Suggestions =====
  
 +This page is for suggestions.  If you have an idea for the site, please add it to the list below.
 +
 +A code walkthrough would be cool.
 +
 +Some tutorial/discussion on screen v.s. ssh (more specifically, ssh-key-ring/agent) interaction.  
 +
 +==== Finish documentation ====
 +
 +I need to finish writing out the documentation for the screen commands.  <PMG>
 +
 +==== Discussion of how to set up bash/tcsh autocompletion of attachable screen sessions ====
 +I saw a reference (http://wiki.unixpod.com/Screen) that bash would autocomplete screen sessionnames, as in
 +
 +        guest@zanzibar:~$ screen -list
 +        There are screens on:
 +                2441.bar        (Detached)
 +                2393.foo        (Detached)
 +        2 Sockets in /var/run/screen/S-guest.
 +        guest@zanzibar:~$ screen -r b<TAB>
 +
 +where hitting the TAB key at <TAB> above would complete "b" to "bar".  But it doesn't work on my system.  A code snippet for the .bashrc and/or .tcshrc files would be great!
 +
 +==== Launch processes in a screen session on system startup ====
 +I've almost got this working on a FreeBSD system except for the terminal type. Everything gets started, but only in B&W.
 +
 +The screen is for user bongo. First I wrote a script to start screen on system startup.
 +<file - /usr/local/etc/rc.d/bongo_screen.sh>
 +if [ "$1" = "start" ]; then
 +    su -l bongo -c "/usr/local/bin/screen -c /usr/local/etc/bongo_screen.conf -d -m"
 +    echo -n "bongo_screen "
 +fi
 +</file>
 +
 +Then I wrote the screen configuration file to launch the applications necessary.
 +<file - /usr/local/etc/bongo_screen.conf>
 +term xterm
 +screen -t app_1 /usr/local/bin/app_1 app_1_options
 +screen /usr/local/bin/app_2
 +screen
 +</file>
 +
 +The first line got me closest to the proper terminal type.
 +The second line starts app_1 and names the screen "app_1".
 +The third line starts app_2.
 +The fourth line just starts a shell.
