Detached GNU screen session unexpectedly killed upon terminal close
I am using GNU screen for years now on several servers with the same configuration and never ran into this strange problem:
After connecting to the server via SSH I start screen (without options). Then, no matter if I close my terminal application (iTerm or Terminal, by clicking on "the x" or via CMD+W
) or detach the screen session first using CTRL+A D, in any case the screen process gets killed and the session is gone. For debugging, I have explicitly set autodetach to on now, but that does not help.
- Its not a Ubuntu 18 problem per se, as it does not show up on another Ubuntu 18 VM
- It is not a problem with iTerm2 per se, as it shows up under Max OS Xs Terminal as well
Any idea how to quickly tackle this?

You could try and debug by attaching astrace -fo strace.log -p "$pid"where$pidis the pid of the screen server.

Does it happen as well withscreen -c /dev/null. Or when using a different value of$SHELL.
