Linux Screen; How do I make screen persistent with the -X command?

Question

I'm running screen with the following command:

screen -dms -X buildscript.py

This executes the buildscript.py file and runs it as a daemon. Now, when the build script fails, screen automatically terminates (and I don't get to see the error messages)!

How can I make it so an -X to a script will NOT be terminated if that script fails?

Answer 1

Use wrapper /path/buildscript.sh:

#!/bin/bash
buildscript.py
bash

And command

screen -dms -X buildscript.sh
