Bring a nohuped process to the foreground
# note: I think you can only do this from the same terminal session.
# It doesn’t look like it is possible to nohup a process, close a terminal
# and then bring the process back to the foreground again. Use screen instead.
# If you do not close your terminal session and if you do something like
nohup sleep 100 &
# and want to bring this to the foreground
# find the process ID using
jobs -p
or
ps -ef
# then supply the PID as the argument to the fg command
fg 14389420
