Starting things in detached Screen is easy. Here is how I start my UML
kernels:

  screen -L -S my_kernel -d -m bash /script/that/runs/kernel

The "-d -m" bit starts the detached screen.

You can then reconnect to the screen at any time by typing:

  screen -r my_kernel


The particular system I have been working on is something I'm doing
for BT. I might be able to persuade them to release it in which case
people here will be amongst the first to know.
