Hello Aaron,

Thanks for your discussion.  I had some misunderstanding and you pointed
out that.  Yesterday I did some more reading and understand the command
should be run on the server.  The command I have found is very useful

` ` `
ssh -t server.com "screen -S foo -rd || screen -S foo bash -l"

`  `  `

So it reattach the session foo if there, otherwise start it.

Thanks
