I wrote a custom Java server. I am running it using Upstart (`/etc/init/myservice.config`) where I launch `java -jar myservice.jar`.

The java process uses `System.out.println` to write log messages of all kinds.

I want to be able to connect to it from a remote ssh session and view the output.

I've looked at a number of posts, including:
http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/58550/how-to-view-the-output-of-a-running-process-in-another-bash-session

I've tried `cat` and `tail -f /proc/<procid>/fd/0 /proc/<procid>/fd/1 /proc/<procid>/fd/2` — all are blank output.

All this is as root

I know there are more things to try, but I'm suspicious since the fd's are blank (or at least for me).

Im running Ubunutu Server 14.04 LTS, Oracle Java 8

Update:
Looking to try screen, but I see its not exactly meant for this...
