running screen is slow when running using node's spawn
16:27 25 Apr 2025

I'm running this command: screen -S server -X stuff $'\003' when I run it directly in bash it execute immediately. When I'm running it through node's spawn, it takes several seconds for the command to get to the screen, and I can't figure out why.

The screen command is just one example, every screen command works the same. e.g. screen -S server -X quit;

node.js bash spawn gnu-screen
