Package: screen
Version: 4.0.2-3
Severity: wishlist
The kill and quit commands should both accept an optional parameter of
the type of signal to send to kill processes. On linux systems, some
processes, such as java, ignore signal 15, and only die when killed with
signal 9. Currently there is no way to specify the kill signal used by
the kill command, or by the quit command which in turn kills all
windows.
