What I'm trying to do is basically this:

  • start byobu in the foreground when the script runs
  • have the rest of the script run in the background and use byobu cmdline syntax to pass commands and keystrokes to the byobu instance in the foreground.

I have an existing fairly contrived script that does a bunch of stuff with screen splits and keystroke injection but the part I can't figure out is "How to launch byobu up front, so the user can watch it all happen from behind the proverbial bulletproof glass"

    Sounds simple enough. Which part is causing you problems? Please show your minimal code and say what's wrong. Not sure what the bullet-proof glass bit means. Thank you. – Mark Setchell Mar 05 '21 at 07:42
  • i described it this way because i don't know how to write the code to do what I'm after. Right now the script just launches byobu at the end, but this is a compromise until I can sort out how to have it run the way I want. – Viss Mar 05 '21 at 18:15
