naming a screen session in linux

Question

Hi,

I am running multiple screens from one ssh connection, when I list all of the screens via screen -ls the names are not very descriptive and when I have multiple screens it becomes hard to remember what is running on each. Does anyone know how to name these sessions (preferably when creating the screen).

Thanks

You can make use of the -S flag:

screen -S name_for_this_session
