Hi, is there a way to "reconnect" to a ssh session that was
disconnected and left running processes in the linux server?
I know that's the purpose of the screen command, but just to spread
know-how, is that possible?
Example:
3441 pts/0 S+ 0:00 nano /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
I remotely connect to a machine via ssh and started to edit apache
conf and i did not used screen (me bad). The session timed out due to
an internet glitch and I got disconnected.
How can I reattach (speaking in screen terms) to that ssh session or
gain control to the nano process (or any other)?
if you didn't start an instance of screen to begin with, you're out
of luck; screen can't help you reattach to any arbitrary process,
only to other instances of screen.
does nano have a robust autosave/autorecover facility? if it does,
just kill the nano process and start another (perhaps this time from
within screen). if not, curse your bad luck and consider using vi
next time, which can deal with this sort of problem.
