Re-Connecting to disconnected processes

[Stephen D Carter]

>From time to time processes accessing our Symmetry (running Dynix V3)
get disconnected, probably arising from some event on the network over
which we are connected.

Connection is then re-established, and often it is enough to identify,
check, and double check and then kill the hanging process.  Not always,
though.

Sometimes it might (will!) be better to 're-attach' to the disconnected
process in order to allow the job in hand to be completed in an orderly
way.

Question.  How?

Locally our systems programmers can't identify the way of doing it, nor
can local UN*X guru's.  Can you?

Thank you in advance
