It's sunday and I left an instance of R running in the office. The script finished running, and I would like to save my workspace without going to the office. I can ssh to the computer, but I have not run the program into screen.Is there a way, over ssh, to disown the process (I don't have access to jobsid of the terminal the program is running on!) and reattach it with say, reptyr? Reptyr and reptyr -T don't work without previously disowning the process28845 3diag       20   0  139.3m  10.4m   0.0  0.1   0:12.06 S  `- urxvtd                                                                                       5327 3diag       20   0   16.4m   4.6m   0.0  0.1   0:00.02 S      `- bash                                                                                     5335 3diag       20   0 3499.3m 3.244g   0.0 43.3 171:57.89 S          `- R The unique part of my question is that I explicitly require to detach a program without having access to the terminal in which it was created.
