Am hoping this can be cleared up :
Given, screen session running, and open (attached) in a terminal.
Question.
If the terminal session is terminated, without being detached from the screen session, would the active process running in the screen session be killed/halted/stopped etc.
Thanks

Answer
It is in the manual page, found by looking for SIGHUP
:
Command: autodetach state (none)
Sets whether screen will automatically detach upon hangup, which saves all your running programs until they are resumed with a screen -r command. When turned off, a hangup signal will terminate screen and all the processes it contains. Autodetach is on by default.
