I have a long-running process that was started in bash terminal on Debian. Unfortunately it wasn't started inside screen.
Is there a way to disconnect this process from current console and connect to it from screen?

Unfortunately, you won't be able to transfer ownership.

If all you want is to keep the process active while log out (and you're using bash), suspend the process with ^Z, then "disown -h" to release it from your shell.

So will it be running in background? – Wojtek May 9 '11 at 12:14
Yes, but you will be unable to attach to it if you kill your current shell. – Tzarium May 9 '11 at 12:17
