screen: Detach
8.1 Detach
==========
-- Command: autodetach state
(none)
Sets whether 'screen' will automatically detach upon hangup, which
saves all your running programs until they are resumed with a
'screen -r' command. When turned off, a hangup signal will
terminate 'screen' and all the processes it contains. Autodetach
is on by default.
-- Command: detach
('C-a d', 'C-a C-d')
Detach the 'screen' session (disconnect it from the terminal and
put it into the background). A detached 'screen' can be resumed by
invoking 'screen' with the '-r' option (⇒Invoking Screen).
The '-h' option tells screen to immediately close the connection to
the terminal ('hangup').
-- Command: password [crypted_pw]
(none)
Present a crypted password in your '.screenrc' file and screen will
ask for it, whenever someone attempts to resume a detached session.
This is useful, if you have privileged programs running under
'screen' and you want to protect your session from reattach
attempts by users that managed to assume your uid. (I.e. any
superuser.) If no crypted password is specified, screen prompts
twice a password and places its encryption in the paste buffer.
Default is 'none', which disables password checking.
