screen in screen, detach only last one

  • 772

I have strange issue on my hands.

I have opened (GNU) screen for one serial console and in that same console I have opened another screen to another serial console.

It was working but I am now unable to detach the last one without detaching the 1st one.

I know that this is due to same configuration for both screen.

Is there some way to detach the last screen without detaching the first one?

Any advice is most welcome and appreciate. Thanks

    You have to press <CTRL-A> <A> <CTRL-D> sequentially. <CTRL-A> <A> sends control symbol to the inner screen while <CTRL-A> - to the outermost one.
