About This Repository

This repository is for GNU Screen configuration files. It includes the .screenrc file and any other related files that are used by the .screenrc file.

Note that the name of the .screenrc file in the repository is actually screenrc (without the dot) for convenience. You can simply link to the file from your home directory:

 cd $HOME
 ln -s $SCREENRC_REPO_DIR/screenrc .screenrc

Requirements

The current configuration assumes the following:

• Linux

  System statistics are collected from Linux-specific pseudo-files in the /proc directory

• Debian, or a Debian derivative

  The current scripts list the number of available updates, and use Debian's package manager (APT) to get that information

• The package gawk

  The AWK script uses some gawk-only features

• The package apt-show-versions

  This is also used to get the number of available updates

How to Use

1. Clone the repository to your local machine:

   hg clone https://bitbucket.org/akhayyat/screenrc
   

   or:

   git clone https://github.com/akhayyat/screenrc.git
   

2. Set the path for the included script(s) in the screenrc file to the absolute path of the repository ($SCREENRC_REPO_DIR), by editing the following line in the screenrc file:

   backtick 100 0 0 $HOME/.dotfiles/screenrc/screen-stats.awk
   

   The default above assumes that $SCREENRC_REPO_DIR is $HOME/.dotfiles/screenrc/

3. Link the .screenrc file in your home directory to the screenrc file in the repository:

   ln -s $SCREENRC_REPO_DIR/screenrc $HOME/.screenrc
