Is such a think possible under Linux?

Yeah I know I can tmux / nohup, and I know that if I dig deep enough I can manually reattach some of the file descriptors under /proc to get a working terminal for that process again…

… but is there a tool that automatically does this somehow?

e.g.

run -d ./bash long-running.sh  >  proc.file
### later
run -a  proc.file

Edit: Y’all really know how to recreate the feeling of StackOverflow circa 2018

    I think the tool “dtach” might fit the bill.

    It’s supposed to be a lightweight replacement for tmux/screen that only does the detach/reattach parts, and none of the terminal emulation stuff or windowing or any of that.
