command. When turned off, a hangup signal will terminatescreen
and all the processes it contains. Autodetach is on by default.

Detach thescreen
session (disconnect it from the terminal and put it into the background). A detachedscreen
can be resumed by invokingscreen
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 underscreen
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.
