My command is still running but someone closed my shell, can I get my output still?

I ran an fs_usage (based off dtrace facility) but someone closed the window I think.. But I still see the process running # 15023 I tried fg 15023 but it told me no job control.. Is there anyway I can see my output? The scan has been running an hour and the output is valuable to me.

It is creating an output file? Then: Open that file and read it.
Does your system have the /proc filesystem, and is the process writing to the terminal?
Then: get the pid of the process, cd /proc/<pid>, then there will be an fd directory.
You may be able to cat the 1 [tty for your process] file there.

Mac os x, no /proc unfortunately.. I should've redirected to a file but I didnt.. I see the process running but I guess my output is gone forever.
