background output
Question:
I run a script to check a filesystem or two and put it in the background vi a ssh session. Now, upon killing the window(ssh session) the script will of course keep running, BUT if I log back into the box via ssh how can I get the output of the script back to my ssh session/window?
Is this at all possible?
TIA,
BA

Not sure why this does not work in bash:
tail -f err.log |&
-bash: syntax error near unexpected token `&'
I am attempting to continuously read a file that is being updated by doing a "tail -f" on the file and piping the output to stdin which can then be read by the next shell command

SSH-ARGV0(1) BSD General Commands Manual SSH-ARGV0(1)
NAME
ssh-argv0 -- replaces the old ssh command-name as hostname handling
SYNOPSIS
hostname | user@hostname [-l login_name] [command]
hostname | user@hostname [-afgknqstvxACNTX1246] [-b bind_address] [-c cipher_spec] [-e escape_char] [-i identity_file] [-l login_name]
[-m mac_spec] [-o option] [-p port] [-F configfile] [-L port:host:hostport] [-R port:host:hostport] [-D port] [command]
