Screen *doesn't* maintain a shell or shells *between* system reboots.
It can't. You've killed all processes (including screen and its child
processes), and they're not available to restart.
If your system supports hibernation or sleep mode (most laptops, and
many desktops do), you can *suspend* your system, and restore all
processes (including screen and its child processes) at a later time.
If you are using screen on a remote system which is *not* going through
a boot cycle (e.g.: you ssh to a remote host, and keep a 'screen'
session active there), you can reconnect to the host, then reconnect to
the screen session (as indicated elsewhere on this thread) by:
$ screen -r
...or if the disconnect wasn't clean, try the '-rd' (reconnect,
disconnect other sessions) or '-rx' (reconnect, share connection).
If you have mulitiple screen sessions running, you want to use '-ls' to
see which are available. 'man screen' for more information.
Peace.
