我一般使用screen -S readableName给screen session指定一个名字，从而在时间过去很久之后，看到这个名字还能想起来，它里面还在跑什么程序。

detach的方法，可以有3中，一种直接关掉窗口，一种是ctl+a d（前提是仍然使用它的默认行为），一种是在另外的窗口中，使用screen -d session的名字。

当进入一个screen之后，如何显示而且简单地显示出，我们正在所在的screen的名字呢？

每个screen都有一个私有的变量STY，该变量的值就是pid.screen的名字

0> screen -ls
There is a screen on:
	2030.huau	(Detached)
1 Socket in /var/run/screen/S-zhishan.

zhishan@fedora.heisenbug-20.mr.com: ~ 
1> screen -r huau

然后echo $STY输出结果就是2030.huau

因此，可以配置到PS1变量中：

if [ "x$STY" != "x" ]; then
export PS1='$STY@\H: $PWD'"
> "
else
export PS1="\u@\H: \w 
\$?> "
fi

注意，这个文件需要配置自己用户下的.bash_profile（如果你的$SHELL是bash的话）
