Just some ideas. well, with screen launched before fsck finishes, when fsck finishes, the /run/screen/*/* entry gets deleted, by something. ubuntu saucy. if we can't find what's wiping /run/screen, perhaps i can hardlink to the pipe just after launching screen, if i get lucky and find a corner of /run that doesn't get wiped. or perhaps set the immutable bit. or maybe supply a softlink for /run/screen out of /run. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
