How to pull in a program in a screen session


Hi all,


I started a long-running command in a remote shell, but now I want to turn off my computer.
The question is how can I load that (already running) command into a screen session so I could detach it and it continues running?


Thanks,
Steven

You can't. You had to have started screen first then start the program after you're in the screen session.
