I'm just wondering whether I'll be able to bring a process to foreground which is started in one putty session into another putty session?

The issue I'm having right now is, I started a python script (long running foreground process) in a putty session and due to some issues in network, the putty session got inactive. Then, I started a new putty session and checked whether the process is running or not with,

ps aux | grep python

The result of above command was,

tuser   35805 54.7  5.6 1632620 919720 pts/0  Sl   09:43  51:20 python train.py

Now, I would like to know whether I'll be able to bring this process in the currently logged in session? I would like to see the current status of the python script basically? Is there a way??

Thanks for your opinions!

Without any workaround this can't be done, however: If you start your process inside a screen (or tmux) session, you can later reattach to the session from "another PuTTY" by doing screen -dr
