I started a job on my box at work.
I am ssh'd into it now, and I can see the PID.

Write now the job is just writing output to stdout.

I want to see what is being written from here.

How can I stream the output by selecting its pid?

Not sure if this will help but if you redirect the output to a file you can then watch the file grow with tail -f <filename>. For example if you ran the following:

# myscript > myoutput.txt

You could watch the output as it arrived using:

# tail -f myoutput.txt

-f follows the file as it grows.
