Forgot to screen?

Sometimes even the best of us forget to invoke screen prior to running a long job.

I found an excellent workaround on serverfault (http://serverfault.com/questions/55880/moving-an-already-running-process-to-screen) that I'll repost in case it vanishes.

Simply put, you detach the process from your login shell using "disown".

So,

cntl-z

bg

jobs

disown -h %jobspec-id-from-jobs

And just like that, you've bullet-proofed it from a sighup. Kill your shell and pack up for the night because it'll run to completion.
