I was running a rake task as a separate process in my server and printing on STDOUT tracking the progress of that script.
While in the SSH connection, my internet connection reset. When I reestablished the connection to the server, I found that the process was still running. I want to listen to its STDOUT ouput. I have the process id.
How can I do that?
For the future, consider screen.

To start a screen session:
To detach a screen session on purpose so you can disconnect and leave it running:
To reattach your detached screen session
There’s a whole lot more to it, but that’s enough to get you started.
