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.
