Is it possible to move a process from one shell to another? Ex: I have launched a process in some shell, and I decide I'd like to move it to my GNU screen session. Is that possible?

No. You cannot reparent a process except by killing its parent, at which point it becomes a child of init.

Is there any reason for that? – Peltier May 03 '10 at 15:36

It just isn't a supported operation in POSIX. – Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams May 03 '10 at 15:41
