Where do you place backticks and where do they show up in a screen session?

Playing with backtick's

Code:

backtick 1 60 60 $HOME/bin/get_uptime
backtick 2 60 60 $HOME/bin/get_cputemp Core0
backtick 3 60 60 $HOME/bin/get_freemem
backtick 4 60 60 $HOME/bin/get_freeswap
backtick 5 60 60 $HOME/bin/get_volume PCM
backtick 6 60 60 $HOME/bin/get_gmail
backtick 7 60 60 $HOME/bin/get_updates

hardstatus string "%{.kc}%-w%{.kw}%n*%t%{-}%+w %= | %1` | %2`C | %3`/%4` | %5`% | %6`/%7` | %c %d/%m/%Y"

they are placed in the hardstatus string line, between the "|" i mean the numbers:

%1` is backtick 1 60 60 $HOME/bin/get_uptime
%2` is backtick 2 60 60 $HOME/bin/get_cputemp Core0
...

and they show in the bottom of your screen session, in the hardstatus line

I use 2 different screen configs. 1 for the server 1 for home. For home use I wanted screen split in 4. Here's how.

Create an area to hold the source

cd ~/
mkdir screen
cd screen

Get the latest source

wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/screen/screen-4.0.3.tar.gz

Extract the source

tar xvf screen-4.0.3.tar.gz

Download extract and apply vertical split patch

cd screen-4.0.3/
wget http://vsp4sdl.yuggoth.org/wrp_vertical_split_0.3_4.0.2.diff.bz2
bunzip2 wrp_vertical_split_0.3_4.0.2.diff.bz2
patch -p1 < wrp_vertical_split_0.3_4.0.2.diff

Build it

./configure && make

Install screen

sudo mv screen /usr/local/bin/

Use my .screenrc if you would like The window splitting is @ the bottom

nano ~/.screenrc

##########.screenrc##########

Thanks for all the tips! Here is what I glow together from it

startup_message off
                                                     
caption always "%{= Wk}%-w%{= Bw}%n %t%{-}%+w %-="
vbell off
term screen-256color
screen -t log  0 sudo tail -f /var/log/everything.log
screen -t Bash1 1
screen -t Bash2 2
screen -t Ncmpc++ 3 ncmpcpp
select 1
altscreen on

bindkey "^[[1;5D" prev  # change window with ctrl-left
bindkey "^[[1;5C" next  # change window with ctrl-right

Used screen-git from AUR for the vertical splitting.

Been with Arch (happily off course) for about half a year and now comes my first post

Right, I am going to have to learn how to use screen now

This opens 6 screen windows, the 1st two are web and rtorrent, the next 4 open various directories I like to switch between quickly, and then the final statement (select 2) puts the focus on the window with the home directory:

Code:

screen -t Web elinks
screen -t rTorrent rtorrent
screen -t Home
chdir /media/Storage
screen -t Storage
chdir $HOME/python
screen -t Python
chdir $HOME/c
screen -t C
select 2

well this is in theory a screenrc, but this thread is more oriented towards the hardstatus/caption setup, rather than generic stuff that anyone can learn with `man screen`

I disagree  :-|  I like seeing how anyone sets up their screenrc.  I find it's a fun way to learn.

do a `man screen`, way more educational
