Follow-up Comment #1, bug #44243 (project screen):

While GNU Screen would know the state of its windows, and the commands that
were executed when they were opened (e.g. /bin/bash), it cannot be responsible
for the state of those shells, or jobs running within them.  See the `layout
dump` command in screen(1) for information on saving window layouts.

If you want to restore the state of the environment of a shell, record running
jobs, etc, then you must do so from within the shell itself, perhaps by saving
the environment before each prompt using `PROMPT_COMMAND` in bash.

And maybe give the sysadmins some advice on etiquette. :)
