Let's say I created an init script to create a screen session that runs a game server. That script also has the ability to kill the screen session based on the PID. Honestly I can't make heads or tails of screen's man page. How can I create another script that allows me to send a command (simply a short string with a return at the end) to the running process within that screen?

(I want a file that lets me "./ban <username>" then passes "ban $1[ENTER]" to the running process)
