Start detached Unix process via fabric on multiple servers and retrieve status?

What is the recommended way to start long running (bash) scripts on several remote servers via fabric, so that you can later re-attach to the process for checking the status of the process, eventually sigterm it and get the exit code?

EDIT (10-Nov-2012):

In the mean-time I found a question going into the same direction: HOW TO use fabric use with dtach,screen,is there some example

It seems that the preferred way would be to use screen or tmux.
