Details:
I'd like an option in Screen that associates a session with a file that's
automatically kept up-to-date with the state of that session such that it can
be recovered later, even if the machine it's running on is unplugged without
warning.
Ideally this will preserve and restore windows, shells (with CWD),
manually-set environment variables (i.e. via export), and whatever command was
running in those shells (if they can't be automatically filled in/started,
then I'd at least like to be able to find out what they were).
My rationale stems from my work, were the sysadmins will sometimes reboot my
development server without warning me. Currently, this means I lose my
screens and whatever work I was doing at the time (usually three or four
sessions with 6-9 windows each). Making a bunch of windows only takes a
little time, but losing the context of where I was and what I was doing tends
to cost me at least half a day's work; more if it happens over the weekend
(and still more if I ended the day deep in with gdb).
