    Just run

    byobu

    again and it will re-attach to the current session in the background (for the current user). If there is no, it will create a new session.

    In case a lot of output has been produced and you'd like to scroll up, use the Copy mode by pressing F7. It will "disconnect" the cursor and allows you to scroll up and search. Use the arrow keys (↑ ↓ → ←) or PageUp / PageDown keys to move around, and Esc to get control back on the shell.
