Ever run a very large job and regretting not starting it in the excellent screen utility? If you don't have something like reptyr or retty, you can do the following.<\/p>\n
Push the running job into the background using Control-Z and then background it. Then disown that job from the terminal. At least it will keep running. And if you want to kick off another job when the disowned process finish you can run a little script in a new terminal and checking for the disowned job to finish. Running the new script in screen first off course.<\/p>\n
