I have started monerd detached and need to exit it safely. I have tried adding stop to the /proc/(pid of monderod)/fd/0 but monerod doesn't accept the input. Is it ok to kill the process? I want to restart monerod in screen so I can more easily attach/detach to send commands.

There is no problem in forcibly stopping monerod, the daemon is constantly writing the received blocks into the disk and LMDB is one of the most robust databases on the market, it doesn't corrupt easily unless there is a hardware problem, only thing that doesn't get saved are the IP bans but this will be fixed in a next release.
To make sure everything is saved type exit in the daemon window.
