Howdy, We have solid support for this within the byobu [1] project, which is a wrapper and a set of helpers for GNU Screen. Many (most?) byobu users have configured it to launch-by-default on every login. You can select this through F9->Toggle-on-launch-by-default. On your next login, byobu will automatically launch, creating a new screen session if none exists, reattaching to one if only one exists, and prompt you with a list of sessions if more than one exists. On fresh logins, it will also display the MOTD with the first shell launch.
