Hello,
I have been searching Google for a few days for this but have not been
coming up with the correct answer. Then again maybe I am asking the wrong
question... If I start a process, i.e. compile a kernel, on my desktop,
how
can I then connect to it from my laptop and see the output of that process
via the ssh session?
thanks,

screen(1) is the tool for this. You can find it in the ports collection
(sysutils/screen).
For example:
$ screen
$ cd /usr/src; sudo make buildworld
(now press CTRL+A D)
On the other machine, ssh into the desktop
$ screen -r
(press CTRL+A D if you've seen enough)
Also, this will protect the running job from accidental (or purposefully)
closure of the terminal.
Wow, always thought of learning how to learn this "magic". Thanks for sharing
this wonderful tip!
Thanking you...
FreeBSD Rocks!

Don't forget to run screen -wipe from time to time to get rid of leftover
screen sockets though. Doesn't happen often, but if screen dies or the machine
reboots spontaneously, this will happen..
