I actually filed this bug.  I now have an account.  Anyway I can change the submitter from Anonymous to me?

I am unable to kick off logging through the command to a detached session.  I have to attach to the session and issue a :log or a C-a H.  However, the example below does not work.

# screen -d -m -S test_prog -t "Test Prog" ping 127.0.0.1
# screen -ls
There are screens on:
        7254.test_prog  (Detached)
1 Sockets in /var/run/screen/S-root.

# screen -S test_prog -X logfile test_prog.txt
# screen -S test_prog -X log

I also tried:

# screen -S test_prog -X log on

Still no files ever appear in the local directory.  However, if I attach and issue a :log command or C-a H, it works.  The file test_prog.txt appears in the local directory.

Please let me know if you need any more information.
