question:
I'm running fedora core1, fresh install last night.

before I left for work today, I started a "yum upgrade" on the system to bring it up to date.

now I'm SSHed into the box, I can see the process running, (pid:3938, ppid:3883) and I'd like to bring it to the foreground of my ssh window so I can keep an eye on it.

root is still logged in locally at home (hey, it's a blank install, I'm not worried about security yet).

Is there any way I can take over the process, or the entire login session?
I thought "fg 3938" would do it, but that returns "no such job"

full 'ps' listing is:
root 3938 3883 0 0657 tty1 00:00:11 /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/yum update

any thoughts welcome!
