Starting up a screen (unix command) + running a command in 1 command?
screen -d -m sh -c "while :; do ./myCommand; done;"Explanation:
-d -mstarts screen in detached mode (create session but don't attach to it)sh -c commandlinestarts a shell which executes the given command line (necessary, since you are using thewhilebuiltin).
From screen -h, these look useful:
-dmS name Start as daemon: Screen session in detached mode.-X Execute <cmd> as a screen command in the specified session.I haven't done this myself, but that's where I'd start.
Update:
The top of the help also says
Use: path/to/screen [-opts] [cmd [args]]so the -X switch may be to execute a screen command as opposed to a shell command. You might just be able to put your command after the -dmS <name> without any -X switch.
