I would like to set up GNU screen on my headless CentOS box such that when it starts up with some screens already running.

My .bashrc file runs screen on the first login with screen -xRR and I would like htop and various logs to be automatically opened.

Is it also possible to assign titles to the screens at the same time?

gnu-screen

You can start programs in screens by using the screen command in your ~/.screenrc and these commands are accepting options.

Quoting man 1 screen:

Thus, if your ".screenrc" contains the lines

 # example for .screenrc:
 screen 1
 screen -fn -t foobar -L 2 telnet foobar

screen creates a shell window (in window #1) and a window with a TELNET connection to the machine foobar (with no flow-control using the title "foobar" in window #2) and will write a logfile ("screenlog.2") of the telnet session.

I've used this, in an init.d script:

su someUserName -c 'screen -S someSesseionName -dm'

Following that, you can use the stuff option to launch processes and do various other things to the screen session.

export NEWLINE=$(echo -ne '15')
su someUserName -c "screen -S someSesseionName -p 0 -X stuff 'ls -lash$NEWLINE'"

There may be settings required in /etc/screenrc to enable multiuser mode for this to work. I've been using this for years to launch perpetual processes that permit ongoing user interaction on headless x86 Linux hosts. It allows post-boot logins to access the sessions by attaching to them as normal users:

screen -S someUserName/someSesseionName -x
