send "quit" from the command line?

[Leen Smit]

Hi there,

Im using a screen to run a "deamon", and im trying to figure out how to 
send a quit/kill to that screen session.
Can anyone tell me how to do that?

What Im doing at the moment is get the pid from 
/var/run/screen/S-user/999.screen, send that pid a kill after which I 
run screen -wipe.
This somehow feels wrong, there must be an easier way for this??

Thanks in advance.
