How to view a running Shell Script?

I ran a script, and then I closed SSH. I want to go back and view it as if I just ran it.

Is this possible?

1. Run your script using nohup:-
Code:
nohup script_name > run.log &

2. Close SSH session
3. Open SSH session
4. Check if script is running:-
Code:
ps -eaf | awk '$NF=="script_name" { print } '

BTW if your question is regarding bringing script running in background to foreground you can try using screen

Sorry I phrased that question wrong.
I want to go back to the Java command prompt, that was started via a .sh file, and be able to enter commands.
Similar to the cmd in Windows.
