opposite of disown

[Adrian Kubala]

Is there any way to "own" a process after it's been disowned? Thanks.

That would presumably get called "adopt," and I don't think so...

I was thinking about how people seem to read the Bible a whole lot
more as they get older then it dawned on me...they were cramming for
their finals.

No. `disown` doesn't actually do anything to the process. It
just stops the parent shell handling it. Also, the descriptors
of a process cannot be altered by another process. This
includes "reowning" it as a child process.

Does this mean there's absolutely no way to do this?
Or maybe a 'half way'? For example, I tried to at least send a SIGCONT
to a disowned proces after closing it's original parent shell. That
also didn't work...
