Can I name the screen file "screen" from the -L flag?

Question

When you start the screen with the -L flag, a file called “screenlog.0” is created, and all the output is written to it (which is fine), but I will start several screen sessions, and I need to identify the logs with a unique number. Can I change the name of the log?

Answer 1

You can edit your .screenrc file and add something like this

logfile / tmp / myownlog

Answer 2

Alternatively, there is a way to do this online.

Enter command mode on the screen with Ctrl + a logfile and use the logfile command with the name of the file you want as an argument, for example: logfile whatevernameyoulike.log

Source: Screen

Answer 3

Use the script command inside the screen session.
