Is there any way to restore ssh (pts) session after client's disconnetion?

Here is an algorythm:
1. # ssh username@some.remotehost.com
2. open several interactive programms (mc, vim etc)
3. plug of network cable from client's computer :-)
4. open ssh connection from another computer and run:
# who
username pts/3 Apr 10 14:04 (192.168.1.2) <------ this session must be restored
root pts/6 Apr 2 11:04 (192.168.1.3)
root pts/7 Apr 5 15:39 (192.168.1.4)
.....
5. what to do?

AFAIK, that is not possible after the fact.

Next time use GNU screen or tmux.

you could unfortunately just 'kill' the disconnected user to 'logoff'
