Fix nx attach by setting SCREENDIR environment variable - #146
Merged
Conversation
The server creates screen sessions in /tmp/nexus-screen/ but the client attach command was looking in the default screen directory. Added SCREENDIR=/tmp/nexus-screen to both remote and local attach commands to match where the server creates sessions. Fixes the 'There is no screen to be resumed' error when attaching to jobs. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
