[Screen] Irssi + Screen at startup

[matjaz]

I want to configure screen to start at startup with irssi, but I can't find the config file. Wiki article says that config is ~/.screenrc but no such file (or folder) exists.

Also, is this the right way to do what I want to do:
put "screen" in rc.local, put "screen -t irssi irssi" in the screen config file (when I find it).

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
pacman -Ql screen
')

Create the .creenrc file, and consider adding a -dr to re-attach if it is already running.

Thank you, works.
I'm setting this up just for the boot process, so no -dr needed.

If you use the rc.local file, I use this to start up on a different user (don't want irssi running 24/7 on root)
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'su ircchat -c "screen -dmS ircsess irssi -n Slycat"')
then to reattach the screen from any user on the system
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'sudo -u ircchat screen -dr')

Not sure how to work the .screenrc files though, but I guess it is the same idea: tell screen to open under some user and run this script/program.
