screen command: How to get entire output?

[sangamesh.bc]

Hi,

I'm using 'screen' software to open multiple shells in a single terminal. The problem I'm facing is that, if a command's output content is more than the current display, it doesn't show the top lines or upper lines.
When i scroll upside, it shows mix of other screen shell's output.
I tried to avoid it by using:
defscrollback 2000.
But no luck

The options used in /etc/screenrc are:

shell -${SHELL}
hardstatus alwayslastline
hardstatus string "%-w%{= BW}%50>%n %t%{-}%+w%<"
defscrollback 2000
bindkey -k k7 prev
bindkey -k k8 next

Is it possible to show complete output on screen shell

Or any suggestions for other tools that will give facilities as screen

Thank you,

What is your LInux distribution+version, and what version of 'screen' are you running?

[sangamesh.bc]

The Linux distribution is CentOS, version is 5.2 (x86_64)

The version of screen:
# screen -v
Screen version 4.00.03 (FAU) 23-Oct-06

That's pretty close to what I'm running (CentOS 5.3 + screen v4.00.03). I take it that you are not running a GUI desktop? Unfortunately, I haven't used screen before so I am not familiar enough with how it should behave. I just diddled with it a bit to see how it would work, but not enough to tell you why you are having your specific problems.

Anyway, the man page says to send bug reports, fixes, enhancements, pizza and beer to screen@uni-erlangen.de

I'm using a Desktop with Linux and a Server with Linux. From Desktop I'll login to Server using ssh (command line, Non-GUI) and then I'll start screen session using screen -S san -c /etc/screenrc.

I've informed about this to screen@uni-erlangen.de.

Thanks for your support
