Problem

I have a screen named 'foo' that I started using the command I want to put this in cron, and restart it nightly by killing the screen. The reason I'm using a screen is my command starts up several other procs and this will ensure they all exit. So... what is the command to kill sceen 'foo'? Thanks!

Error Output

screen -S foo -d -m  my_command_goes_here.
