I don’t quite understand you but to send
ctrl-c
to a window in a screen session:screen -S session_name -X at window_number stuff $'\003'
# or
screen -S session_name -X -p window_number stuff $'\003'
If you want to send something to all the windows, use #
(needs to be quoted) as the window_number
.
UPDATE:
Screen’s stuff
command also supports ^X
(or ^x
) to mean CTRL-X
so the following command can also be used to send CTRL-C
.
screen -S session_name -X at window_number stuff ^C
