Kill detached screen session

2018-06-23 10:11:56

I learned from somewhere a detached screen can be killed by

screen -X -S [session # you want to kill] kill

where [session # you want to kill] can be gotten from

screen -ls .

But this doesn't work. Anything wrong? What's the correct way?

"kill" will only kill one screen window. To "kill" the complete session, use quit .

$ screen -X -S [session # you want to kill] quit

You can kill a detached session which is not responding within the screen session by doing the following.

Type screen -list to identify the detached screen session.

~$ screen -list  
    There are screens on:  
         20751.Melvin_Peter_V42  (Detached)

Note: 20751.Melvin_Peter_V42 is your session id.

Get attached to the detached screen session

screen -r 20751.Melvin_Peter_V42

Once connected to the session press Ctrl + A then type :quit

List screens:

screen -list

Output:

There is a screen on:
23536.pts-0.wdzee       (10/04/2012 08:40:45 AM)        (Detached)
1 Socket in /var/run/screen/S-root.

Kill screen session:

screen -S 23536 -X quit
