I beleive you want screen. Screen is a program which runs a shell, and by typing ^a + d it puts the shell into th ebackground (and any program(s) you ran from it) and by typign screen -r it brings it back up. You can bring it back up anywhere. I use it for IRCing. Orbitz Brad Noyes wrote:
Hi, I was trying to find a way to attach a process to the shell's job list with no luck. I wanted to be able to bring a running process into the foreground of a shell session that didn't start the process. The closet command that i could find was the disown command for bash, which does the opposite of what I'm looking for. Does anyone know of a bash (or any other shell) command that will let you bring a processes into the foreground of a shell, which is not the original parent of the process?
