How can I pause up a running process over ssh, disown it, associate it to a new screen shell and unpause it?
It is fairly easy to disown a process, or make it run without a tty, but is it possible to transfer to process to your own tty?
By “disown a process”, I’m talking about running a command using nohup, or by running the disown builtin.
screen is very handy for this. Launch screen, launch the process inside screen, detach from screen. Then, screen -DR to resume.
Take a look at retty which finds the stdin, stdout and stderr of a process and attaches to them. However, you don't completely own the process like you did before so you can't send it signals.
