'''Warning''': using the ''kill'' command to do anything can be very dangerous if you don't know what you're doing. If you're unsure, reattach the screen you want to kill and follow the instructions above. | |||
If you have more than one screen session and you want to kill one of them, type "screen -dr" to get a list of the available screens (from the terminal which appears when you first log in to RedBrick). Note the '''number''' (also known as a process id, or pid) at the beginning of each screen name. This is the process number. Ensure you know which screen session is which. | |||
To kill a session, use this command | |||
kill -9 ''pid'' | |||
Where ''pid'' is the number of the session you want to kill. To then get rid of the dead screen session, type | |||
screen -wipe | |||
