Kill detached screen session?

Question

I learned from somewhere a detached screen can be killed by > screen -X -S [session # you want to kill] kill where [session # you want to kill] can be gotten from > screen -ls . But this doesn't work. Anything wrong? What's the correct way?

Answer 1

That should work, I am not sure which version of linux you are using. One other way is to use the same command and instead of kill use quit
