Re: Sending the Ctrl-C keystroke into a screen window

[Gerald Young]

Hello,

Try using the "stuff" command. So something like:
screen -x <sessionName> -p <windowTitle> -X stuff "^C"

Note that the ^C sequence is a literal Ctrl+C character, so you need to input 
it as the sequence Ctrl+V Ctrl+C.

Best regards,
Gerald Young
