Restore Your Remote SSH Connection

My life was doomed. However, after some research, I found that I could resume an existing ssh session using a command line option of screen.y

First, I ran the following.

$prompt> screen -d -r

This gave me a list of existing sessions. Each session was listed with a PID. So, I then ran the following command to get the abandoned session back.

$prompt> screen -d -r <pid>

I am so glad I found this and was able to continue the upgrade. I had a feeling that rebooting would have ruined everything and was out of the question.
