[feature request] copy environment to screen

Open zaza42 opened this issue 5 years ago • 1 comments

Hi!

I just found this cool project about a week ago - it had never occurred to me before that it could be. It works pretty well! 👍

I just ask for a feature a bit similar to self-replication over ssh: self-replication over launching screen. So I backpack to a host, run screen, and I'd like to transport the environment into it. Is it possible? It would be nice!

Probably. Backpack relies on environment variables to work correctly, so basically you need to pass backpack specific variables to screen.

I've done something similar with sudo making a proper alias in a backpack file.
