De-Background a process from the command line


Recommended Posts

okay here's the situatiion...

 

Say I started a prcess from the command line as such:

sudo ./my_process &

and then closed the terminal window. Then later I wanted to open another window and "de-background" that process so that I could pass it commands (like ctrl-c, etc...) or snag its output, what would be the command?

 

 

I know that I could use kill -SIG*** <process id> but that's not exactly what I want to do.

 

Any help would be appreciated. :)
