You seem to describe the "screen" behaviour, when you close your 
terminal, leaving the screen session, then open another terminal and 
bring the session back there ("screen -r"). Very useful when the distant 
connection fails and you want to keep the shells, or when you work home, 
then get the session back at work (and vice-versa).
