Can I nohup/screen an already-started process?

If you’re using Bash, you can run disown -h job

disown

disown [-ar] [-h] [jobspec ...]

Without options, each jobspec is removed from the table of active jobs.
If the -h option is given, the job
is not removed from the table, but is
marked so that SIGHUP is not sent to
the job if the shell receives a
SIGHUP. If jobspec is not present, and
neither the -a nor -r option is
supplied, the current job is used. If
no jobspec is supplied, the -a
option means to remove or mark all
jobs; the -r option without a
jobspec argument restricts operation
to running jobs.
