Background process I\O redirection




Hello all.

This may sound like a newbie question, but I had no alternative but to
turn to the experts as no one on irc could answer it clearly :P

Lets say I run something from a shell and detach it
($ ./some-proggie &)
My question is whether I can have any control of it's output\input after
killing the shell itself. Some people I asked recommended a program named
"screen", but frankly I'd be surprised if there wasn't an ability to
control detached\runaway processes in linux\(*NIX?)
