We run several screen instances from one box, eg. :
27185.pts-53.CentOS-57-64-minimal (Detached)
27209.pts-53.CentOS-57-64-minimal (Detached)
27281.pts-53.CentOS-57-64-minimal (Detached)
Is there a way to ‘name’ a screen id, so instead of having to remember the exact PID, i use screen -x 1 for pid 27185, screen -x 2 for pid 27209 and screen -x 3 for pid 27281 ??

When you start the screen, you can use -S to set the sessionname (Source: )
After you are in screen, you can rename the Session by entering the command mode: Ctrl+a :sessionname
You can read about the : here:
