Not now - the console it was associated with is gone.
In the future, you can start it under screen (if you set your $SHELL to
screen, this makes it almost automatic)
You can still send signals (SGHUP, SIGTERM, SIGCONT, SIGQUIT) but you
are not going to get the STDIN, STDOUT, or STDERR of the command to
redrect to your terminal.
I would have used screen but didn't anticipate the need in advance. Thanks.
