In particular, I wonder how to tell a dead screen from a > living one. This all depends on where screen puts its sockets. Apparently your screen puts them in your homedirectory which appears to be on an nfs mount or some thing like that. This means that any screen session that runs on a different machine from the one you're using will appear to be dead and a candidate for '-wipe'. A more sensibly configured screen would store its sockets in a machine-local location. /var/run/screen for instance which wouldn't expose non-local screen sessions to an unintended '-wipe' Software sucks, shared storage sucks, non-shared storage sucks. - OMThere's stuff above here
