After a few days of searching I found this easy way to bring back the output of a process back to screen even if the source terminal is closed.
The advantage is that you do not need extra software to manage this.
1. Start the process, write it to a new pipe and send it to the background
f.e.: ping 8.8.8.8 > pipe1 &
In this example the pipe is written to "pipe1" in the actual directory.
2. Bring the output back to screen:
tail -f pipe1
The "&" flag at the end of the command ensures that the the process keeps running, even if the source terminal is closed.
I feel lucky about replies.
