`dtach` and `reptyr` are other lesser-known tools that support just the 
attach/detach functionality of `tmux` or `screen` (which are basically 
terminal window managers).  `dvtm`¹ ("dynamic virtual terminal manager") 
is another alternative in that realm.

`dtach`² (as the name implies) just supports the attaching and detaching 
feature.

The problem with `tmux`, `screen`, and `dtach` is that you have to use 
it before your process is running.  If you've forgotten to tmux- or 
screen-ify the process beforehand, you might try `reptyr`³ (It "re-" 
"pty"'s a program.)  It's Linux-only, and uses ptrace(2) hackery to 
attach a process running on a different pty to a new one.
