(solved)screen problem "reopen fifo blabla: no such file or directory"

ramoneur · 2007-10-05 00:20:54

i cant start screen. it just says "reopen fifo /tmp/screens/S-ramoneur/<random number>.pts-1.arch: no such file or directory"
ive searched google but cant find anything.
ive looked and the folder is there, the permissions is right, and yes i have free space on my /tmp.

i remember having a similiar problem to this before, and solved it just by doing screen -wipe. that doesnt work now.
it seems screen just cant create the file "/tmp/screens/S-ramoneur/<random number>.pts-1.arch" which is weird.
screen has worked perfectly before and i have a fully functioning config which ive used a long time.

anyone know whats wrong?

ah i figured it out now, i was looking for a script that would show my current ram usage in my hardstatus line, which i totally forgot i put in my .screenrc some hours ago. guess i havent started a new screen session since then
well the script obviously fucked everything up xD

does anyone know a simple script that will show my total available ram, and free ram in my hardstatus line?
it doesnt hurt asking one more question i hope...
i want my harddrives info (available gb and free gb) displayed in my hardstatus line aswell

Well this could work, kind of. keep in mind I'm pretty new to sh/bash or programming at all.

#!/bin/sh



# --- Memory ---
MEMTOT=`free -m | grep Mem: | awk '{ print $2 }'`
MEMUSE=`free -m | grep buffers/cache: | awk '{ print $3 }'`


# --- CPU ---
LOADA=`uptime |sed 's/.*://'`


# --- DISKSPACE ---
HOME1=`df -h |grep /dev/ |awk '/home/ { print $1 }'`


echo -e "CPU: $LOADA || MEM: $MEMUSE/$MEMTOT || /home: $HOME1 "
