I see the same behaviour when I try it in this way. Using screen with a
script that calls the ioc startup script works, as suggested by several
people.

$ cat ./st.screen
#!/bin/sh
./st.boot

$ screen ./st.screen

Thank you for all of the help.

What happens if you specify the executable explicitly rather than
starting the executable from the script?

i.e.
screen /full/path/to/bin/linux-x86/iocExecutable st.cmd
