I have a code running on a Linux server. Since it takes hours to run, I have to use nohup to make sure my code is still running in case I loose my connection to the server. Again since I have to wait hours to see the results, I defined a counter to print out the progress of my code (%). If I loose my connection to the server or close the terminal, the only way that I can see the code is still running is using top. Is there any way that I can see again the output console (message showing the progress)?
