The steps are (would like to use it with rtorrent on a freenas box):
.) screen -mS rtorrent -- rtorrent
.) C-a d
.) ps aux|grep rtorrent
   root    902  0.7  3.3 10760  8148  p1  Ss+  12:33PM   0:00.15 rtorrent
   root    900  0.1  0.8  3536  1884  ??  Ss   12:33PM   0:00.03  
screen -mS rtorrent -- rtorrent
.) kill 900
works - screen and rtorrent terminates

.) screen -dmS rtorrent -- rtorrent
.) ps aux|grep rtorrent
   root    902  0.7  3.3 10760  8148  p1  Ss+  12:33PM   0:00.15 rtorrent
   root    900  0.1  0.8  3536  1884  ??  Ss   12:33PM   0:00.03  
screen -mS rtorrent -- rtorrent
.) kill 900
doesn't work, screen terminates but rtorrent (PID:902) runs on.

kind regards
