If i open a Terminal window on my desktop and start a job on it and go to work in the morning. Is there a way to connect to the desktop with SSH and interact with the ongoing process in the Terminal window? So I can get the result in the SSH session and continue the job.

I can see the terminal window from ps list.

2012 ? 00:02:30 gnome-terminal-

EDIT: What about socket's? If my bash script open's a unecrypted socket from local port X to remote port Y on remote address A, is there someway to see the traffic and interact with it?

The venerable Gnu Screen can do what you want, but it can't attach to an already running gnome-terminal. You'll need to start screen at work if you want to pick it up later at home.

See Session Management specifically.

On your home computer, before starting the job, launch =screen=:

screen

Then, from work or where ever, ssh into your home machine. Once in a shell, connect to the screen instance running there:

screen -raAd

That's -r[eattach] -a[ll capabilities] -A[dapt the size of the screen] -d[etach screen if running elsewhere]

Do whatever you want to do in that screen instance, and when finished, detach from it using ctrl-a and then d.

Once detached, exit the ssh session with exit as usual.
