The immense advantage of screen is that it has been available on every HPC
cluster I have ever had access to.  Alternatives (mosh as an alternative to
ssh for example) almost invariable requires buy-in from system
administrators who may be entirely uninterested in helping you: in other
words, a good solution using screen would be great and I am excited to see
Li working on this.  I would love love love to be able to set up a single
command for doing all of this in one go (including connecting to a running
screen session, if present and also be able to use something like qrsh to
get onto a cluster node), but have not had the time to dedicate to this.

Best,
Kasper
