Boxee.app/.../bin/screen?

[ecronin]

Poking around the Boxee.app bundle, I noticed a copy of screen is included? Seems an odd thing to find there...

Included to control rtorrent. You can also attach to rtorrent from ssh using
/Applications/Boxee.app/Contents/Resources/Boxee/bin/SCREEN -r rtorrentboxee

Don't know how likely this is to interfere with Boxee's own control, but seems to work fine for me.

FYI.

As for, 'why not just use the OS's version of screen' ... probably because screen isn't installed on all platforms, including AppleTV ...
