How to list running screen sessions?
The command screen -list may be what you want.
See the man
While joshperry's answer is correct, I find very annoying that it does not tell you the screen name (the one you set with -t option), that is actually what you use to identify a session. (not his fault, of course, that's a screen's flaw)
That's why I instead use a script such as this: ps auxw|grep -i screen|grep -v grep
To list all of the screen sessions for a user, run the following command as that user:
screen -ls
To see all screen sessions on a specific machine you can do:
ls -laR /var/run/screen/
I get this on my machine:
gentle ~ # ls -laR /var/run/screen/
/var/run/screen/:

This is a rather brilliantly Unixy use of Unix Sockets wrapped in filesystem permissions to handle security, state, and streams.
