[ale] How to move a running process to screen session

[Jim Kinney]

You are correct. I have a VPN open to access the network so I can ssh into
the remote machine. Screen allows me to disconnect and reconnect at will
from VPN or in the office. By using the reptyr tool to migrate a slow
process from a normal login shell to a screen session shell, I am able to
disconnect from the VPN session and pickup the screen session in the office
and the migrated process is still chugging along moving terrabytes of data
into hadoop for processing.

I need to reconnect the 10G network and bond a pair of 10G nics from the
file server now that I have the new switch.

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you gain
at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his own tail.
It won't fatten the dog.
