'reptyr' is a tool that can pick up a running program and attach it to a
new terminal.
This is very useful in many cases. Assume a long-running process started
remotely over ssh. But you have to leave now and want the process to keep
running until complete? Solution: start a screen session, use 'reptyr' to
attach the long-running process into screen, close ssh and go home.
Caveats: the author of 'reptyr' states that porting it to BSD may be
feasible, but is difficult.
