nohup -p in solaris and equivalent in linux

By using nohup -p <PID> we can no-hangup the already started process using the process id.

But the above does not work in linux environment.

Is there any workaround or equivalent command to be executed in linux to do no-hangup the already startup process.

I prefer to just use screen so processes continue to run after executing them without them getting killed when exiting.

Screen is available for Solaris as well. I never use nohup, though the man page is there for my own system, I see no available options except version and help. In order to use nohup in Linux, you have to run it with the command..

nohup [command] [options]

So in your case, screen is just as powerful or more powerful the way I see it.
