    screen doesn't deamonize shell script. It just run they in distinguished terminal and can detach from this terminal (like unplug keyboard from PC) without closing session. So, the program running in detached terminal is running in background. Therefore - detach pass program in background. Commented Apr 4, 2018 at 21:17
