I would like to get list of the windows in gnu screen's session from the script outside of the screen.
"screen -X windowlist" command displays window list inside the screen, but it couldn't be dumped later with hardcopy screen command.
is there any way to do what I want?

You you just mean typing "screen -list", to give a list of currently running screens? Or something more than that?

"screen -list" just gives the list of the screen sessions, and what i want to do is to get list of the windows for the specific screen session.
(I mean those which are referred as windows in screen manual and created with 'C-a c' hotkey)
