I do something like this.

echo "log on" > $rc
echo "logfile $logdir/$host.log" >> $rc
echo "logtstamp on" >> $rc
screen -S $host -c $rc -d -m -h 1000 -L /dev/ttyS0 \
115200,cs8,-ixon,-ixoff,-istrip


Then just use screen to attach/detach as you want (e.g. screen -x -r $host).  
All output gets logged to the log file even when not attached.

[Setting rc, logdir, & host is left as a exercise for the reader]
