donais@gsig-net.qc.ca pointed at two old threads:
http://groups.google.ca/groups?threadm=AAMaa.21765$cB3.126672@nnrp1.uunet.ca
http://groups.google.ca/groups?threadm=3E60D25A.BD6729F3@att.net
but neither of them address your question. The second one does point
out a different program (dislocate) with a more focused purpose (allow a
single program to be detached from and reattached later).
Anyway. I run screen 3.9.5 all the time, and I (involuntarily) use the
auto-detach functionality many times a day, due to a crappy phone line.
I forget whether I got the binary from somewhere or built it myself.
It needs to be setuid-root for the auto-detach stuff to work right; is
it?
