Topic: Autodetach screen

I'm working on a perl-sript that should use ssh to login to a computer, and then start a screen'ed program. I've figured out the login-part, and how to start screen with the specific program, but how do I autodetach the screen-program? I can't use -D beqause I'm not root...

Must run suid root for multiuser support.

Re: Autodetach screen

Not sure about what you wanna do, you want to start a program with screen and detach it directly after that?
