Full Discussion: Is it possible to set timeout on Linux screen session
Operating Systems Linux Is it possible to set timeout on Linux screen session Post 303011017 by prvnrk on Thursday 11th of January 2018 08:39:16 PM

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!
