I'll have to try this. I have tried http://pasky.or.cz/~pasky/dev/retty/ http://pasky.or.cz/~pasky/dev/retty/ before, with limited success. It would reattach a terminal running vim, but not Matlab, and was generally a bit flakey. EDIT: I have now tried neercs. Like retty, vim can be stolen but attempting to steal zsh shell or Matlab sessions causes crashes. I was once told VMS used to have decent native support for reattaching terminals? It's frustrating that we don't have this ability (at least not seemlessly) now. There was a project to make screen easier to use, integrating it with gnome-terminal: http://monia.wordpress.com/2006/08/31/integrating-gnome-terminal-and-screen/ http://monia.wordpress.com/2006/08/31/integrating-gnome-term... but the patches were never accepted.
