Next: Power Detach, Up: Session Management Commands [Contents][Index]
(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.
(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 (see Invoking Screen).
The -h option tells screen to immediately close the connection
to the terminal (‘hangup’).
(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.
