backgrounding a running wget job

[Ari Moisio]

Hi!

  In theory this could be possible: you have to change wget's process group 
id to same as one of your screened shells. Unfortunately i do not know any 
tool to do this.

  If you use bash you can put wget background witht
  ^Z, bg  wget
and  detach it from current shell with
disown wget

  but if the wget is outputting continuously this may now work. There is 
afaik no way to get process bakc to foreground.
