How do I reattach to a detached mosh session?

For security reasons, you can not reattach, see https://github.com/keithw/mosh/issues/394

To kill the detached session, use the PID number displayed in that message (that’s the ‘XXXX’ part.) For example, if you see —

Mosh: You have a detached Mosh session on this server (mosh [12345]).

And can run this command:

kill 12345

Also, to close all mosh connections you can:

kill `pidof mosh-server`

Note that if you are currently connected via mosh, this last command will also disconnect you.
