Running geth attach in a screen session immediately exits

[quakemmo]

I'm using

screen -d -m -S eth
screen -S eth -X screen '~/dmn/eth/geth attach http://localhost:8548'

in a bash script to automatically start a console in a screen session. The geth daemon is already running.

When I run it in a screen session like this, the console displays the welcome prompt, then immediately exits.
If I run the geth console manually outside the screen, it runs fine and stays at the prompt.

Changing the geth command line for just "bc" works, bc runs fine in the screen, so it makes me suspect that the issue comes from geth.

Running geth 1.16.2 on Linux.

Anyone has ever encountered such a problem?

Thanks.

when you say it "immediately exits", do you mean that it goes through the shutdown sequence, or does it die?

If it's the former, then it must have something to do with the fact that it receives "EOF" or similar on the standard input, and then naturally shuts down. That, or it simply can't find the geth daemon to connect to. Could you copy/paste the logs from both geth attach and geth, along with the command line for the latter?
