Problem

My GNU screen stores its sessions in the directory. That means that after a reboot, all sessions are lost: How can I tell it to store them in a specific directory in my home directory, where they won't be lost so easily?

Error Output

$ screen -list 
No Sockets found in /tmp/uscreens/S-dehmann.
