Fri 05 Nov 2010 04:12:38 PM UTC, original submission:

I'm using a command line of the form:
screen -X at 0 echo 'something'

In order to pass a notification message to an attached screen session.

When I do this, in my screen session, I get the 'something' message, as was passed from the command.

But subsequently, I also get a message of the form:
command from kirkland: echo something

Thus, I get two notifications, redundant information really:
something
command from kirkland: echo something

I think the 'echo' command is a special case. In all other cases, sure, seeing that a command is being executed in your session makes perfect sense. But in an 'echo', what you want is the actual text in your notification buffer. I'm attaching a patch that fixes this. We will be carrying this in Ubuntu's version of screen. Please consider and apply to the upstream project. Thanks.
