Daerr got me hooked on the wonderful brilliance of screen for permanance as well, answering some basic (i.e. stupid, RTFM!) questions, including -rd. I don't quite automate as much as Daerr - okay, I don't automate, but I am _always_ using screen.
I am surprised you (prog) hadn't been infected with screen -rd previously.
