I have several problems when I start screen session via cron line:
Code:
@reboot screen <program>

For example KDE bianries aren't in my $PATH (I sometimes need dcop).
Also if I create a new window within the screen bash does not go trough ~/.bashrc (or ~/.bash_profile).

Does some of you have any trick to make screen start propely from cron?

you can either specified the full path to your binaries

or may be use the stuff command (don't know how it will work with cron) :

Code:
@reboot screen -S blah && screen -S blah -X stuff "program^M"



Or even create a dedicated screenrc for that matter:
Code:
@reboot screen -c /etc/mySupaSpecificScreenrc


Hope this helps :)
