I created a screen "myscreen" in linux and it stopped responding abruptly. I closed the terminal and tried to reopen it. "screen -ls" shows that the screen is Attached. I tried the following commands but nothing responds.
screen -r myscreen screen -D myscreen screen -D -RR myscreen screen -X -S myscreen quit
Any help to reattach to the screen or to kill the screen is very much appreciated.
There are 2 (two) ways to leaving the screen. First, we are using “Ctrl-A” and “d” to detach the screen. Second, we can use the exit command to terminating the screen. You also can use “Ctrl-A” and “K” to kill the screen.
hostname (Attached) Remove dead screens with 'screen -wipe'. 2 Sockets in /tmp/screens/S-username. Once you've done this, you can resume the screen by entering the screen -r command. (In the above example, the dead screen isn't causing problems, but you should probably enter the screen -wipe command to get rid of it.)
screen command in Linux provides the ability to launch and use multiple shell sessions from a single ssh session. When a process is started with 'screen', the process can be detached from session & then can reattach the session at a later time.
screen -X -S SCREENID kill
alternatively, you can use the following command
screen -S SCREENNAME -p 0 -X quit
You can view the list of the screen sessions by executing screen -ls
Create screen from Terminal:
screen -S <screen_name>
To see list of screens:
<screen -ls> or <screen -list>
To go to particular screen:
<screen -x screen_name> <screen -r screen_name>
Inside screen
To Terminate screen:
give ctrl+d screen will get terminated
To Detach screen:
give <ctrl+ad>or <screen -d >screen will get detached
To reattach screen:
screen -x <screen_name> or screen -r <screen_name>
To kill a screen from Terminal:
<screen -X -S screen_name quit>
or
<screen -X -S screen_name kill>
You can use screen_name or process_id to execute commands.
