Control process from different terminal (over SSH)
I pressed CTRL Z and suspended the job. then I pressed bg, The process re-started to throw output on the terminal and its not allowing me to access the prompt.

its not even accepting CTRL Z. The process has been running for about 2 hours now and I want to suspend it by opening another terminal. (I am using SSH)

How can I take control of this process from another terminal and then suspend/resume/bg/fg it there

please help

You could try

"kill -STOP <pid-of-process-you-want-to-pause>"

and

"kill -CONT <pid-of-shell-that-is-paused>"

Seems like it worked, but how can I see the output on a different terminal

Ah, leap into your time machine and set the dial to the moment before you started the program, (use top to find out when that was), then use "nohup mylongprogram &". Then go to other terminal and type "tail -f nohup.out".
