Re: cannot start detached sessions (with -m -d) back to back

[Adam Russell <ac.russell%live.com@localhost>]

I have tried to reproduce what I believe are your findings, that some 
delay before starting the second session is enough to fix things.

What I am finding is that works to some extent, but then that second 
session seems to quickly end.

Here I start a session, list all sessions, quit all sessions, sleep for 
10 seconds, start a new session, list all sessions, sleep one second, 
and then list all sessions again.

As you can see the second sessions, created after the ten second sleep, 
does get created, but is gone a second later.

-bash-5.1$ /usr/pkg/bin/screen -S some-session -p 0 -m -d; screen -ls; 
screen -X quit; sleep 10; /usr/pkg/bin/screen -S some-session -p 0 -m 
-d; screen -ls; sleep 1; screen -ls
