Is there any way to reclaim control of a login or process from which you've been (perhaps unexpectedly) separated? It is not uncommon for the dialup connection that I use to access my Iris to fail. The connection is to someone else's machine, from which I telnet to the Iris. Usually when the connection is severed, I can just log back in and kill the leftovers. But, sometimes it would be nice to be able to get back in control of them and end them in a civilized way. Any help would be appreciated.
