Hi Corona688, it's actually NOT working. Even though we're able to kill the bash (shell) but the screen session socket still exists (that's the whole point of having a session - not to lose session if there's disconnection to the server etc.). Just login into the server and running "screen -r" still restores my session and one can see what is going on the session.

So I changed your script as below and now its working fine ( basically I'm killing the screen session)

Code:

( sleep 120 && screen -S scr1 -X quit ) & # Kill screen session in 2 minutes
exec screen -S scr1 # Establish a screen session

Luckily screen offers us to name every session so you can use that name (instead of PID which is a random number) to kill/attach/detach. Now It's working as expected. Thanks for all the help!

xfce4-session-logout(1) 				      General Commands Manual					   xfce4-session-logout(1)

NAME

       xfce4-session-logout - Logs out from Xfce

SYNOPSIS

       xfce4-session-logout

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the xfce4-session-logout command.

       The  xfce4-session-logout  command allows you to programmatically logout from your Xfce session. It requests the session manager to display
       the logout confirmation screen, or, if given one of the command-line options below, causes the session manager to take the requested action
       immediately.

OPTIONS

       xfce4-session-logout takes the following command line options:

       --logout
	      Log out without displaying the logout dialog.

       --halt Halt without displaing the logout dialog.

       --reboot
	      Reboot without displaying the logout dialog.

       --suspend
	      Suspend without displaying the logout dialog.

       --hibernate
	      Hibernate without displaying the logout dialog.

       --fast Do a fast shutdown.  This instructs the session manager not to save the session, but instead to quit everything quickly.

       --help Print a help screen and exit.

       --version
	      Output version information and exit.
