I have multiple task to be done on each window of the screen. I need to automate it with some simple script. Any help on this will be appreciated.
Start a Screen named "XYZ" with window "1"
Start a another window "2"
Run a particular command on the window "1"
Run a particular command on the window "2"
This can continue for multiple windows,
needed simple API's to achieve this.
I figured from the screen man page that , we can send commands to particular screen and window, using the screen with -X
switch.
'-X' - Send the specified command to a running screen session.
You can use the -d or -r option to tell screen to look only for attached or
detached screen sessions. Note that this command doesn't work if the session
is password protected.'

I have just wrapped the screen command in python API's , so just writing a python script suffices my work to automate.
For creating a screen, creating a window and then sending commands.
