https://github.com/nelhage/reptyr
reptyr is a utility for taking an existing running program and attaching it to a new terminal. Started a long-running process over ssh, but have to leave and don't want to interrupt it? Just start a screen, use reptyr to grab it, and then kill the ssh session and head on home
Bit of weird one, perhaps not much use for home users.
Would have been handy when I was running 6 IMAPsync scripts all on one shell. ALL with output to STDOUT...

good share wux. I don't really have a use case for this, but I can sure see how it can be a helpful tool.

Hmmm... I thought you could do this manually while scripting?

okay, reptyr rocks! It works as advertised. Good use case for me was changing a running irc session(s) to tmux for whatever reason. Cool find. Approved.
