How to take control of an orphaned job


I was working on something over ssh when the network connection died. The job is still running and I want to reclaim it and save the changes. Is that possible?

bg and fg are for suspended jobs durring a session. I'm talking about moving a running job to a new login session. I tried fg (pid) but it doesn't work like that.

What I need would be like the opposite of disown.
