Export content of screen daemon to file
I'd like to export the content of a detached screen under linux.
I tried those command:
screen -x 2>&1 > temp
screen -x > temp 2>&1
screen -x > temp
But it's not working, It keeps reattaching to a session instead of exporting it in the "temp" file.
Screen version: 4.00.03jw4
What do I do wrong?

You probably want to do something like:
screen -p 0 -X hardcopy
this generates a file hardcopy.0 with the content of the screen session.
The argument to -p determines which session.
The files are dumped in screens current working directory or to the directory set set with the hardcopydir command. Check the screen configuration file for hardcopydir (/etc/screenrc).

That is the same version I have, did you cut and paste the command? Run it in a different terminal than the running screen session. Any message from running the command?

Dec 13 '13 at 10:51
yep, I used the same command. But there is a program running in the screen, I don't know if this change anything or not?
