If you have a modern version of ubuntu on the server, then you can use byobu, which is a more updated version of screen.

From your local:

ssh serv@domain

byobu

/path/to/script.whatever

Then if your session drops (or you just close the terminal), you can reconnect with the ssh command and be right back where you were.

You can also set byobu to always be running, which is what I do, by typing byobu-enable.
