reptyr: Move a running process to your current terminal.

reptyr

$ reptyr ${pid}

try on your machine

The command "reptyr ${pid}" is used to attach and take control of an existing process running with a specific process ID (${pid}).

Here's how it works:

The command "reptyr" is a Linux utility that is used to move an active process from one terminal to another. It allows you to "reparent" the process to a different terminal session.
${pid} is a placeholder for the process ID. You need to replace it with the actual process ID of the process you want to attach.
When you execute the "reptyr ${pid}" command, it attaches to the specified process, detaching it from its current terminal (where it was running before) and bringing it under your control.
After attaching the process, you can interact with it using the current terminal session. This allows you to control and monitor the process within your current terminal window.

Overall, the "reptyr ${pid}" command is useful when you want to take over an existing process and manage it using your current terminal session.
