Are you saying that "ps u | grep factor" isn't showing your actual factor process? It should be there, even if it was run under screen and subsequently detached. On my Linux machine, I alias factor to "dtach -n /tmp/factor.sock factor". It's a similar solution to just using screen, but dtach has a slightly different use case [1]. The main advantage dtach has over just backgrounding the process with "factor &" is that it won't be tied to your terminal session.
