[TriLUG] nohup (unattended jobs/processes)

I started a process yesterday that I believe will take a few more days
to complete.  I'm logged into my Gnome desktop, and have ssh'd into
another host where I'm running the job.  I'm a little nervous now that
my SSH connection may drop/system will crash/other catastrophes could
happen, so I would like to know if its possible to use something like
`nohup` now that the job has already started, so that if anything
happens to my connection, the job will continue until complete.  It's
currently running in the background at this point, but now that it's
started can I modify it?

Thanks,
Jeff
